4seven TV Guide: Listings, Schedule & What’s On 4seven Tonight

Published: 7 September 2026

4seven is Channel 4’s catch-up channel. It commissions nothing. What it does instead is take whatever from across the Channel 4 stable (Channel 4, E4, More4 and Film4) got people talking over the previous seven days and put it out again, which is where the name comes from.

It launched on 4 July 2012, Channel 4’s first new linear channel since More4 in 2005, and the premise hasn’t changed since. Everything in the table below has already gone out somewhere else on the network, though not always at the same distance behind. Tuesday 8 September 2026 keeps to the usual property-and-factual shape: A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me through the afternoon, The Dog House and Fred’s Ultimate Hotels in primetime, then Gogglebox and 999: What Happened Next to close, before the film A Quiet Place Part II late.

4seven tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the 4seven primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 8 September 2026.

A Place in the Sun — 4seven, 6pm

Another repeat from the property strand’s long back catalogue, following a hopeful buyer around a handful of overseas properties before deciding whether to make an offer. It’s one of several airings of the format across today’s schedule, part of the habit of running the same long-running shows in blocks throughout the day.

The Dog House — 4seven, 7pm

Wood Green Animal Charity tries to match rescue dogs with the right new owners in this factual favourite, first shown on Channel 4. Tonight’s repeat is an early episode from the series, following a handful of dogs through assessment and a first meeting with prospective families. The format leans hard on the emotional payoff, and it usually earns it.

Fred’s Ultimate Hotels — 4seven, 8pm

Fred Sirieix experiences a different luxury hotel from both sides of the reception desk, checking in as a guest before pulling on a staff uniform to see how the place runs behind closed doors. He rates each stop against his own five-point scale, covering first impressions through to service, before handing a member of staff a hospitality award at the close. It’s a lighter companion piece to his First Dates day job.

Gogglebox — 4seven, 9pm

Britain’s sofa-bound critics react to the week’s biggest television moments, cutting between a familiar cast of households across the country. Tonight’s repeat opens a series (episode one), sticking to the unscripted, unfiltered format that’s kept the show a fixture of the schedule for well over a decade.

999: What Happened Next — 4seven, 10pm

Real emergency calls open each case in this documentary strand, before investigators work back through the evidence to find out what actually happened once officers arrived. The hook is the gap between how a call sounds and what the truth turns out to be, and tonight’s case follows that formula closely.

A Quiet Place Part II — 4seven, 11:05pm

Emily Blunt and Millicent Simmonds continue the story of a family surviving in a world hunted by sound-sensitive creatures, joined this time by Cillian Murphy as a stranger with his own reasons for staying hidden. Writer-director John Krasinski, who also starred in the first film, keeps the tension tight and the dialogue sparse. It’s a satisfying sequel that doesn’t outstay its welcome.

What kind of shows are on 4seven

The week’s biggest talking points, repeated

Gogglebox and Celebrity Gogglebox turn up constantly, alongside whatever drama or documentary dominated the week. Miss something earlier in the week and there’s a decent chance it’s back on 4seven within a few days.

Property and renovation favourites

Property does most of the heavy lifting. A Place in the Sun, Grand Designs and George Clarke’s Remarkable Renovations all repeat well, partly because the audience for them doesn’t much mind having seen the episode before. Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids sits in the same bracket, though it’s family factual rather than a competition.

Panel shows, food formats and factual filler

The rest of the day is 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Come Dine with Me, and clip-led factual like Car S.O.S and American Pickers. Cheap to re-run, all of it.

How to watch 4seven

Channel numbers

Here’s where to find 4seven across the main UK television platforms:

4seven is free on all of the above platforms, with no subscription required. As with any Freeview or Freesat channel, your on-screen guide is the definitive source if your box shows a different number.

Streaming online

4seven streams live and free at channel4.com/now/4s and via the Channel 4 app on smart TVs, iOS, Android and Amazon Fire TV. You’ll need a free Channel 4 account, which costs nothing to set up. Many of the individual shows that have aired on 4seven also turn up on demand through Channel 4’s streaming platform, though not everything broadcast stays available indefinitely.

4seven sister channels

4seven is one of four channels in the Channel 4 network, all run by Channel Four Television Corporation. Channel 4 itself carries the original commissions everyone talks about first. E4 leans younger, with US imports and reality formats. More4 handles the documentaries and factual output, a fair amount of which ends up back on 4seven in the daytime. Film4 is the film channel.

Verdict

4seven does one job. It’s the closest thing British television has to a weekly highlights reel, and it costs nothing. The 7pm to 10pm run is where it earns its place; the daytime is filler for anyone who likes property shows and dinner parties.

Tonight keeps closer to the channel’s usual shape than most: The Dog House and Fred’s Ultimate Hotels either side of primetime, then Gogglebox at 9pm, as close to a flagship as 4seven has. Daytime runs the familiar A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me rotation in short bursts. There’s nothing new on the channel tonight. That isn’t really the point of it.
