If you can't find the programme you're looking for it could be due to a number of different reasons. It may be the case that the programme is no longer on the service (programmes that have been selected for Catch-up are only available for 30 days after broadcast). Alternatively, Channel 4 may not own the rights to show this programme on All 4. Finally, it could be that the programme has not been selected to be made available on the All 4 service.
If there is a programme you particularly want to see on All 4, let us know and we can check if it will be coming in the future or we can pass on your suggestion that it should! -
Channel 4 must acquire specific rights to provide programmes on All 4 that aren't always covered by existing television rights. Therefore it can't be guaranteed that all programmes will be available to view.

Every programme made available as part of the All 4 service has a rights period or "length of availability" associated with it. An episode which has been broadcast in the past 30 days on one of our channels will have certain "catch-up" rights, and the episode will only be available in line with this rights window. The expiry date reflects this window, and this will differ from programme to programme. If there is no expiry date displayed this means that the programme is available on-demand for at least the next 30 days.
