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

More4 is Channel 4’s factual and lifestyle channel: property shows, food formats and the fly-on-the-wall documentaries that would crowd out the main channel’s schedule. It launched on 10 October 2005 and has been free to air since 6 May 2008, when it dropped the subscription requirement it had briefly carried on satellite. Saturday’s full listings are below, with channel numbers further down the page.

What’s on More4 today

Saturday’s More4 schedule runs to 28 slots built from just eight unique programmes, the smallest spread of titles all week, with two Four in a Bed blocks and a matching pair of 24 Hours in A&E editions doing most of the work.

Overnight, 999: On the Front Line closes out the previous night just after midnight, then two editions of 24 Hours in A&E from 1:20am, running episode 23 before episode 22, out of their usual order. The Perfect Pitch takes the 3:25am slot before a long stretch of Discover Must Have Ideas: Shopping carries the channel through to 7am.

Four in a Bed opens the day proper at 8:55am with the first of two five-episode runs, continuing series 12 through to 11am. A Place in the Sun takes three slots into the early afternoon, then Come Dine with Me runs five episodes from 2:40pm — the last three following a Bristol household cooking vegan menus for each other — before the second Four in a Bed block, series 2 this time, picks up at 5:20pm and carries the schedule into the primetime line-up below.

More4 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the More4 primetime line-up for tonight, Saturday 29 August 2026.

Four in a Bed — More4, 5:20pm to 8pm

Five episodes of Four in a Bed run back to back this evening, series 2 episodes 6 to 10, four of them falling inside primetime. The same run of guesthouse owners has been marking each other down and up since mid-afternoon, and it wraps at 7:25pm with the payment-day episode, when the four settle their bills and find out who scored best.

Griff’s Canadian Adventure — More4, 8pm

Griff Rhys Jones crosses into Ontario for the third leg of his Canadian series, a province he reaches close to the US border. It’s a change of pace between the B&B sniping either side of it and the documentary hour that follows.

24 Hours in A&E — More4, 9pm to 11:05pm

Two hours of 24 Hours in A&E hold the back half of the evening, though it isn’t a double bill of the same run: the 9pm edition comes from series 10, the 10pm one from series 11. Both are filmed at Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, the documentary’s base since 2023.

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

999: On the Front Line closes the night at 11:05pm with more real emergency call-outs, the same format the channel has leaned on for years: no reconstructions, just the crews and the callers.

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 method: fixed cameras, real emergencies, no reconstructions. Neither has changed that formula in over a decade of running.

Property and food formats

A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me anchor the daytime and early-evening schedule. 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 does the same job for the B&B trade. Between them they account for most of what More4 broadcasts before 6pm.

Imported drama and classic comedy

More4 also fills gaps with imported crime drama, a fair amount of Nordic noir, and repeats from Channel 4’s own sitcom back-catalogue. It’s schedule filler between the factual strands rather than anything the channel commissions for itself.

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, with no subscription required.

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, but was withdrawn from Freeview back in June 2022. If you miss the start of something 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).

Frequently asked questions

What’s on More4 tonight?

Tonight, Saturday 29 August 2026, a five-episode run of Four in a Bed fills the 5:20pm to 8pm slot, series 2 episodes 6 to 10, before Griff’s Canadian Adventure visits Ontario at 8pm. Two editions of 24 Hours in A&E follow from 9pm, from different series rather than a repeat of the same one, and 999: On the Front Line closes the night at 11:05pm. There’s no film on More4 tonight. Full times are in the schedule table above.

What time do the main documentaries start on More4?

More4’s documentary strands usually sit between 9pm and 11pm, after the property shows have had the earlier part of the evening. A new series launch or a one-off special can push that earlier, so check the on-screen guide if the evening looks different from usual.

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 where Channel 4 parks programming that works without gimmicks: a B&B owner docking marks over a soggy fry-up, or a crash-team nurse talking a frightened patient through the next ten minutes. The daytime schedule leans on the same recycled formats every day, and Saturday is no exception — just eight unique titles fill 28 slots, with Four in a Bed running through two separate five-episode blocks either side of Come Dine with Me and A Place in the Sun.

Tonight’s primetime keeps the channel’s factual identity front and centre: five straight episodes of Four in a Bed run from 5:20pm to the payment-day finale at 7:25pm, before Griff’s Canadian Adventure takes a breather in Ontario at 8pm. 24 Hours in A&E then closes out the back half of the evening with two editions from different series, not a matched pair, and 999: On the Front Line takes the schedule past 11pm. No film tonight, just five hours of the factual mix More4 does best.
