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

Published: 21 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 22 September 2026 carries three editions of A Place in the Sun through the afternoon, then Location, Location, Location opens primetime at 7pm ahead of a new series-opening episode of The Great British Bake Off at 8pm. Celebrity Pottery Throw Down follows at 9:30pm, and Taskmaster and Bill Bailey’s Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra close out the night.

What’s on 4seven today

Overnight opens with a repeat of 999: What Happened Next just after midnight, then Geordie Coppers, Crime Scene Cleaners and a repeated 24 Hours in A&E carry the small hours. The Dog House runs from 4:10am, before a four-hour teleshopping block takes the schedule through to 9am.

A New Life in the Sun: Where Are They Now?, Find It, Fix It, Flog It and Help! We Bought a Village fill the morning, then three editions of A Place in the Sun run back to back from midday. Four editions of Come Dine with Me carry the mid-afternoon, and a fifth, older repeat leads into Four in a Bed at 5:30pm ahead of tonight’s line-up.

4seven tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the 4seven primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 22 September 2026.

A Place in the Sun — 4seven, 6pm

A fourth outing for the property strand today, house-hunters looking at Corfu.

Location, Location, Location — 4seven, 7pm

Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp revisit buyers from an earlier series to see where they ended up, the format’s usual follow-up trick.

The Great British Bake Off — 4seven, 8pm

The tent returns for a new series, episode one, and it lands on 4seven the same night rather than after the usual week’s wait. Whatever this year’s line-up throws up, the format hasn’t needed fixing in years.

Celebrity Pottery Throw Down — 4seven, 9:30pm

Famous faces take a turn at the wheel, second episode of the run.

Taskmaster — 4seven, 10:45pm

Greg Davies hands out another set of impossible tasks, third episode of the series here.

Bill Bailey’s Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra — 4seven, 11:50pm

Bailey teams up with a conductor to pick apart how an orchestra actually works, closing out the night on something more contemplative than the rest of the schedule.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s on 4seven tonight?

Celebrity Pottery Throw Down takes the 9:30pm slot, and the night closes with Taskmaster at 10:45pm and Bill Bailey’s Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra at 11:50pm. The schedule table above has the full day.

Verdict

4seven does one job. It’s the closest thing British television has to a weekly highlights reel, and it costs nothing. Tuesday breaks that pattern slightly, since a season-opening Bake Off at 8pm lands here the same night rather than after the usual wait — a rare bit of same-day programming on a channel built around catch-up. Location, Location, Location at 7pm and Celebrity Pottery Throw Down at 9:30pm are the channel doing what it does best, giving familiar formats a second life. Taskmaster and Bill Bailey’s orchestra documentary close out the night, a quieter finish than most.

Daytime leans hard on property: three editions of A Place in the Sun before lunch and five of Come Dine with Me through the afternoon, 4seven doing its usual job of filling the schedule with whatever’s been getting attention across the network.
