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

Published: 23 August 2026

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

What’s on More4 today

Monday’s More4 schedule runs to 28 slots built from ten different programmes, several repeating back to back through the day before an evening that turns to cars, quizzes and casualty documentaries.

Overnight opens with 24 Hours in A&E, sandwiching Surgeons: Life in Their Hands between two editions, then The Perfect Pitch at 3:20am before two long stretches of Discover Must Have Ideas: Shopping carry the channel through to breakfast. Find It, Fix It, Flog It closes out the morning at 8:55am.

Four in a Bed then runs in two separate five-episode blocks rather than one long stretch. The first, series 12, fills the late morning from 10am and reaches its own payment day at 12:10pm. Five episodes of Come Dine with Me follow from 12:40pm, all set in Harrogate, before a second Four in a Bed run — series 18 this time — takes over from 3:20pm and closes on its own payment-day episode at 5:20pm. Car S.O.S picks up straight after and runs the schedule into the primetime line-up below.

More4 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the More4 primetime line-up for tonight, Monday 24 August 2026.

Car S.O.S — More4, 5:50pm

Tim Shaw and Fuzz Townshend open the evening on a 1965 VW Karmann Ghia, the German coupe that once turned heads and now hides accident damage and a leaking engine under the bonnet. The rebuild runs through most of the 6pm hour before a second one takes over.

Car S.O.S — More4, 6:50pm

The pair move straight on to a rusty Lancia Delta Integrale, a former four-wheel-drive rally champion, and this restoration takes an unplanned turn partway through.

Grand Designs — More4, 7:55pm

In Devon, Joe and Claire attempt a roughly 400-square-metre house built as much as an art object as a home. Costs and complications pile up almost as soon as work begins.

PopMaster TV — More4, 9pm

Despite the feed billing it as a fresh launch, this is episode two of the run rather than a series opener — another set of contestants take on the music quiz’s clock and buzzer format.

24 Hours in A&E — More4, 10pm

Tonight’s episode leans on age as its theme, among the cases a 93-year-old woman who once drove ambulances through the Blitz.

24 Hours in A&E — More4, 11:05pm

A second episode closes the night, treating a man who has fractured both ankles falling from a tree and a three-year-old hurt falling off a trampoline.

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, Monday 24 August 2026, Car S.O.S opens the evening with back-to-back restorations from 5:50pm, Grand Designs follows at 7:55pm, and PopMaster TV holds its second heat at 9pm. 24 Hours in A&E rounds out the night with two editions from 10pm. 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.

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 two mechanics coaxing a rusting classic back onto the road. The daytime schedule leans on the same recycled formats every day, and Monday is no exception — ten unique titles fill 28 slots, with Four in a Bed alone running through two separate five-episode blocks before the evening even starts.

Tonight’s primetime swaps the channel’s usual documentary-led shape for cars and quizzes first: Car S.O.S runs two restorations back to back from 5:50pm, Grand Designs follows a troubled Devon build at 7:55pm, and PopMaster TV’s second heat takes the 9pm slot. Two editions of 24 Hours in A&E close the night from 10pm, keeping the channel’s factual identity intact by the end of the evening.
