More4 TV Guide: Listings, Schedule & What’s On More4 Tonight

Updated: 14 July 2026

More4 is Channel 4’s factual and lifestyle channel, the home of property, food and fly-on-the-wall documentary strands that don’t quite fit the main channel’s schedule. It launched on 10 October 2005 and has been free to air since 6 May 2008, when it dropped its short-lived subscription requirement on satellite. Tuesday’s schedule works through two separate five-episode Four in a Bed blocks either side of a Come Dine with Me run at lunchtime, before the property double act of George Clarke’s Old House, New Home and Location, Location, Location leads into Grand Designs and then Ancient Egypt by Train with Alice Roberts at 9pm. Channel numbers are in the table further down.

More4 Schedule: Tuesday 14 July 2026 (Full Listings)

Here is the complete More4 schedule for Tuesday 14 July 2026, on Freeview 18.

What’s on More4 today

Tuesday on More4 starts overnight with 24 Hours in A&E and Emergency Helicopter Medics either side of 1am, before A Place in the Sun and the Discover Must Have Ideas: Shopping block carry the schedule through to breakfast. Heir Hunters takes 8:55am with a Guernsey case, then five episodes of Four in a Bed run the property-owners’ B&B contest from 10am through to just after midday, visiting Hampshire, Bournemouth, Anglesey and North Wales before the payout. Come Dine with Me holds the early afternoon with all five editions of its Inverness week from 12:40pm, before Four in a Bed returns for a second five-episode block from 3:20pm, this time touring Norfolk and Devon. George Clarke’s Old House, New Home closes out the daytime at 5:50pm, handing over to the evening line-up detailed below.

More4 Tonight — Primetime and the Evening Schedule

Here’s the More4 primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 14 July 2026.

Location, Location, Location — More4, 6:55pm

Kirstie and Phil open the evening in Hertfordshire (series 38, episode 3), splitting their usual double act between a house-hunter chasing village life and a couple determined to stay within reach of London.

Grand Designs — More4, 7:55pm

Series 13’s South Yorkshire episode follows a couple who set out to build a straightforward new-build family home and ended up converting a derelict 1920s cinema instead. Kevin McCloud’s usual blend of admiration and mild alarm applies.

Ancient Egypt by Train with Alice Roberts — More4, 9pm

Alice Roberts brings her four-part rail journey through Egypt to a close tonight, arriving in Aswan to look at the granite quarries that supplied stone for the country’s great monuments. It’s a stronger finish than the format suggests on paper: Roberts is a genuinely engaging guide, and the quarry sites give her more to work with than another temple facade would. Of tonight’s line-up, this is the one worth building an evening around.

Ancient Autopsy: Alexander the Great — More4, 10pm

Suzannah Lipscomb and a forensic pathologist reopen the 2,300-year-old question of how Alexander the Great actually died, weighing poisoning against illness using modern medical evidence. The digital-autopsy format has become a reliable slot-filler for More4, and this episode is a decent example of why.

999: On the Front Line — More4, 11:05pm

The night closes with paramedics dealing with a run of very different call-outs, fly-on-the-wall in the same style as the channel’s medical documentaries but out on the road rather than in A&E.

What kind of shows are on More4

Fly-on-the-wall documentary

This is the strand More4 is known for. 24 Hours in A&E and 999: On the Front Line both use the same basic method (fixed cameras, real emergencies, no reconstructions), and both have built loyal followings precisely because nothing about them is staged. It’s unglamorous, unhurried television that trusts the material to carry itself, which is rarer than it should be.

Property and food formats

A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me anchor the daytime and early-evening schedule, and both have been running for well over a decade without needing much reinvention. One is about the fantasy of starting again somewhere warmer; the other is about strangers cooking for each other and being far too honest about the results. Four in a Bed sits alongside them doing something similar for the B&B trade, and together the three formats make up a genuinely large share of More4’s daily output.

Imported drama and classic comedy

Away from its factual programming, More4 fills gaps in the schedule with imported crime dramas and Nordic noir, alongside repeats of Channel 4’s own sitcom back-catalogue. It’s not where the channel spends its editorial energy, but it does the job of keeping the schedule populated between the bigger factual strands.

How to watch More4

Channel numbers

Here’s where to find More4 across the main UK television platforms:

More4 is free on all of the above platforms, with no subscription required. There’s currently no More4 +1 on Freeview — it was withdrawn in June 2022 — so check your own platform’s on-screen guide if a +1 version isn’t showing where you’d expect it.

Streaming online

More4 streams live and free at channel4.com/now/m4 and via the Channel 4 app on smart TVs, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and PlayStation. You’ll need a free Channel 4 account, which costs nothing to set up. Recent episodes of most More4 shows are also available to watch on demand through Channel 4’s streaming platform shortly after broadcast.

More4 +1 and sister channels

More4 +1 runs the schedule an hour behind on Virgin Media, channel 347. Freeview viewers don’t currently have that option, so if you miss the start of tonight’s Grand Designs or Ancient Egypt by Train with Alice Roberts at 9pm on Freeview, the Channel 4 on-demand service is the more reliable way to catch up.

More4 sits alongside Channel 4’s other free channels: the main Channel 4 service, E4 (entertainment and US imports), Film4 (movies) and 4seven (catch-up repeats). Between them, they cover most of what Channel 4 produces without needing a single crowded schedule.

Frequently asked questions

What’s on More4 tonight?

Tonight, Tuesday 14 July 2026, the evening on More4 runs Location, Location, Location at 6:55pm into Grand Designs at 7:55pm, before Ancient Egypt by Train with Alice Roberts closes its four-part run at 9pm. Ancient Autopsy investigates the death of Alexander the Great at 10pm, and 999: On the Front Line closes out the night at 11:05pm. Check the schedule table above for the full day’s listings.

What time do the main documentaries start on More4?

More4’s factual programming doesn’t always sit in the same slot two nights running. Tonight the 9pm hour belongs to a travel-history documentary, Ancient Egypt by Train with Alice Roberts, with the emergency-services strand 999: On the Front Line following at 11:05pm rather than holding 9pm outright. It’s worth checking your on-screen guide for the definitive time on any given day, since More4 does move that hour around depending on what else is scheduled.

Is More4 free to watch?

Yes, completely free on Freeview, Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat, with advertising breaks but no subscription fee.

Can I watch More4 online for free?

Yes. It streams live at channel4.com/now/m4 and through the Channel 4 app; you’ll need a free Channel 4 account. Most recent episodes also appear on demand shortly after broadcast.

Verdict

More4 doesn’t try to be flashy, and that’s the point. It’s the channel where Channel 4 puts the programming that works best without gimmicks: real hospitals, real ambulance crews, real B&B owners marking each other down over a soggy fry-up. The daytime schedule leans hard on repeats of the same handful of formats, which can feel like padding if you’re watching end to end, but the 9pm documentary slot is consistently the strongest hour on the channel.

Tuesday’s line-up leans away from the medical documentaries for once. Two back-to-back rounds of Four in a Bed and a full week of Come Dine with Me’s Inverness heat carry the daytime, and the property double bill of George Clarke’s Old House, New Home and Location, Location, Location fills the early evening before Grand Designs revisits a converted 1920s cinema in South Yorkshire at 7:55pm. The pick of the night is Ancient Egypt by Train with Alice Roberts at 9pm, closing out its four-part run in Aswan among the granite quarries, with Ancient Autopsy’s investigation into Alexander the Great and a closing hour of 999: On the Front Line rounding out the schedule after 10pm. It’s a night that trades the channel’s usual hospital-corridor backbone for something closer to a travelogue, and it holds up well on that basis.
