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

Published: 12 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 13 September 2026 opens primetime with a run of five Four in a Bed episodes back to back before the evening’s documentaries take over — full listings are below, with channel numbers further down the page.

What’s on More4 today

Sunday’s More4 schedule leans heavily on a handful of returning strands repeated many times over, and daytime is almost entirely given over to the same property and food formats as usual.

Overnight, 24 Hours in A&E opens the schedule just after midnight, then two episodes of 999: On the Front Line and the High Street shopping strand carry things through to breakfast.

A Place in the Sun then runs seven episodes back to back from 8:55am to 3pm, one of the longest single-strand blocks anywhere on the schedule. Come Dine with Me follows with five episodes through to 6:20pm, before Four in a Bed takes over for a further five episodes running wall to wall into primetime. See below.

More4 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the More4 primetime line-up for tonight, Sunday 13 September 2026.

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

Five episodes run back to back with no gaps, opening primetime wall to wall until 9pm. The format never changes: two guest B&B owners tour the current host’s place, then everyone argues over the bill the next morning.

Surgeons: Life in Their Hands — More4, 9pm

The medical documentary strand reaches its sixth episode, following surgical teams through real operations and the calls that come with them.

Police Rescue — More4, 10pm

A fourth episode of this emergency-services strand airs before the night’s headline documentary.

24 Hours in A&E — More4, 10:55pm

The channel’s best-known documentary format closes the night with its eighteenth series’ sixth episode, cameras fixed on the emergency department rather than following one single story.

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

More4 +1 and sister channels

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 family choosing a house abroad on the strength of a pool and a view. Today’s daytime leans hard on that formula, with A Place in the Sun, Come Dine with Me and Four in a Bed running seventeen episodes between them before 9pm even arrives.

Primetime itself is a straightforward documentary run rather than anything unusual: Surgeons: Life in Their Hands, Police Rescue and 24 Hours in A&E, back to back from 9pm to close. Nothing here breaks from the channel’s usual rhythm, but it’s a solid, uncomplicated evening for anyone after factual TV without a twist.
