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

Published: 5 September 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. Sunday’s full listings are below, with channel numbers further down the page.

What’s on More4 today

Sunday’s More4 schedule runs to 26 slots built from a handful of unique programmes, and daytime is almost entirely given over to the same property/format strands as usual: A Place in the Sun through the morning, then Come Dine with Me and Four in a Bed carrying the afternoon into the evening.

Overnight, 999: On the Front Line takes the 12:05am slot, series 7 episode 3, then two episodes of 24 Hours in A&E follow, both from series 13. Shopping strands fill most of the rest of the night before A Place in the Sun restarts the proper schedule at 8:55am with six episodes running through to 2pm.

Come Dine with Me takes over from 2pm with five episodes through to 6:20pm, when Four in a Bed begins a run of five that carries straight into primetime without a break, finishing at 8:25pm. Surgeons: Life in Their Hands picks up the evening the moment it ends. See below.

More4 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the More4 primetime line-up for tonight, Sunday 6 September 2026.

Four in a Bed — More4, 6:20pm to 8:25pm

Five episodes of the B&B rivalry format run back to back through the whole of early primetime, series 2 throughout. Each owner marks down the other’s breakfast, decor and hospitality before the group settles the week’s takings between them — the same petty scoring system that’s kept this one running for well over a decade.

Surgeons: Life in Their Hands — More4, 9pm

The property shows give way to documentary at 9pm, cameras following surgical teams through genuinely high-stakes procedures rather than the manufactured stakes of the earlier schedule.

Police Rescue — More4, 10pm

A fly-on-the-wall look at specialist police rescue teams follows at 10pm, series 1 episode 3.

24 Hours in A&E — More4, 10:55pm

The night closes with More4’s best-known documentary strand, filming inside Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, series 15 episode 17.

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?

Five episodes of Four in a Bed run through to 8:25pm, then Surgeons: Life in Their Hands at 9pm, Police Rescue at 10pm, and 24 Hours in A&E closing the night from 10:55pm. 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 surgical team’s genuine high-stakes decisions filling the 9pm slot instead. Sunday’s daytime schedule leans on the usual formula — A Place in the Sun, Come Dine with Me and Four in a Bed carrying the day between them, most of it repeated within the week.

The evening is a straightforward hand-off from format TV to documentary. Four in a Bed’s five-episode run carries straight through to 8:25pm with no break, then Surgeons: Life in Their Hands, Police Rescue and a closing 24 Hours in A&E take the night into medical and emergency-services territory. Nothing here reinvents the channel; it’s simply more of what More4 is reliably good at.
