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. Tuesday’s full listings are below, with channel numbers further down the page.

More4 Schedule: Tuesday 11 August 2026 (Full Listings)

Here is the complete More4 schedule for Tuesday 11 August 2026, on Freeview 18.

What’s on More4 today

Tuesday’s daytime is a standard weekday for More4: a teleshopping block runs until 8:55am, when Find It, Fix It, Flog It takes over for an hour. Four in a Bed then anchors the schedule from 10am to 5:20pm across ten episodes, broken up by five Come Dine with Me editions between 12:40pm and 2:50pm. Two Car S.O.S restorations open the evening from 5:50pm.

Before any of that, the small hours carry Emergency Helicopter Medics just after midnight and two 24 Hours in A&E episodes, followed by an early A Place in the Sun repeat and the same long teleshopping block that runs until Find It, Fix It, Flog It restarts the daytime schedule at 8:55am.

More4 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the More4 primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 11 August 2026.

Car S.O.S — More4, 5:50pm and 6:50pm

Two back-to-back rescues open the evening. At 5:50pm, Tim Shaw and Fuzz Townshend take on a Lotus Esprit S1 that hasn’t run in twenty years, a car best remembered for its underwater turn as Roger Moore’s submarine car in the 1977 007 outing The Spy Who Loved Me. The 6:50pm restoration switches to a 1973 Hillman Imp, left to rot in a Gloucestershire barn by a former NHS nurse.

Grand Designs — More4, 7:55pm

At 7:55pm, Kevin McCloud follows a former RAF pilot with no building experience as he project-manages a three-storey house built upside down into a steep slope in the Malvern Hills.

Oti and Richard’s South African Odyssey — More4, 9pm

The 9pm hour brings a brand new series to a close. Oti Mabuse and Richard go looking for adrenaline on South Africa’s Eastern Cape, and Richard gets an unnervingly close encounter with a herd of elephants.

24 Hours in A&E — More4, 10pm and 11:05pm

The night ends with two more episodes from Queen’s Medical Centre. The 10pm hour follows a man who fell twenty feet from a ladder and an older patient with a persistent burping problem. At 11:05pm, an actor with a broken shoulder still has a stage call that night, and an elderly couple are treated after being hit by a motorbike.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What’s on More4 tonight?

Tonight, Tuesday 11 August 2026, the evening runs from two Car S.O.S restorations into Grand Designs, then the new series Oti and Richard’s South African Odyssey at 9pm, before a double bill of 24 Hours in A&E closes out the night. 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 couple weighing up whether 40 minutes from a decent school is too far. The daytime schedule leans on four recycled formats, and the repetition shows if you watch it start to finish.

Tonight that’s two Car S.O.S rebuilds carrying the early evening into Grand Designs, then a new series in Oti and Richard’s South African Odyssey before a double bill of 24 Hours in A&E closes out the schedule. Most of it isn’t new to the format, but a fresh series launch and the reliable documentary run at the back end of the night make this one of the stronger evenings on the channel this week.
