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 schedule is close to a repeats-only day: 28 slots, and once you strip out the two teleshopping breaks, only seven programme titles fill the whole 24 hours. The small hours open with 999: On the Front Line at 12:15am, then two 24 Hours in A&E repeats back to back at 1:15am and 2:20am, followed by an A Place in the Sun repeat at 3:25am. A Discover Must Have Ideas shopping block then runs through to just before 9am.

Four in a Bed takes over from there, five series 11 episodes running 8:55am to 11:35am, before three A Place in the Sun editions carry the schedule to 2:40pm. Five instalments of Come Dine with Me fill the early afternoon and run to 5:20pm, and a second Four in a Bed block — five newer, series 18 episodes — closes out early evening before Griff’s Canadian Adventure opens the primetime run at 8pm.

More4 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the More4 line-up for tonight, Saturday 15 August 2026. Five Four in a Bed reruns carry early evening, then one new documentary and two hours of the channel’s flagship medical series take over primetime.

Four in a Bed — More4, five episodes from 5:20pm

Series 18 of Four in a Bed runs five editions back to back into the evening, covering B&B competitions in Northumberland, Lancashire, Scarborough and Derbyshire, before the week’s winner is confirmed just ahead of 8pm.

Griff’s Canadian Adventure — More4, 8pm

Griff Rhys Jones begins a six-part trek across Canada, opening in Newfoundland and Labrador. He works his way through sea shanties, cod tongue and a noonday cannon-firing tradition rather than sticking to a standard sightseeing itinerary — closer to a comedian’s personal travel diary than the channel’s usual factual output.

24 Hours in A&E — More4, 9pm and 10pm

Two editions of 24 Hours in A&E fill the following two hours, both filmed at St George’s in Tooting. The earlier one follows a retired doctor brought in after a fall from his horse; the later one turns to a man managing schizophrenia who has cut his knee badly. Both lean on the people around each patient as much as the treatment itself, which is usually where this series does its best work.

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

The night ends with a fresh episode of 999: On the Front Line, following paramedics called to a suspected brain bleed, a baby with a racing heart rate, a possible stroke and a suspected case of sepsis.

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

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

More4 +1 and sister channels

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 is the exception within the exception: a documentary launch and two of the channel’s strongest factual formats anchor primetime, even while the day around them recycles the same four formats it always does. None of the daytime is new. The evening still is.
