4-part drama Marriage is produced in association with All3Media International, which will represent the series globally.
the UK’s broadcast regulator Ofcom has approved Channel 5’s restructure of its news output to a one-hour bulletin at 5.00 instead of half-hour bulletins at 5 and 6.30
The change will have to see Neighbours bumped out of the 5.30 slot – for the first time since it started on the BBC in the 1980s.
Strikes me how regulated their media seems to be where a simple change like this has to get government approval.
EDIT: Neighbours will be moving to 6.00pm (and keeping its 1.45pm timeslot)
Home And Away will be bumped from 6.00pm and is retaining its 1.15pm screening, but secondary channel 5Star will continue its “first look” episodes of H&A at 6.30pm.

It is weird but this is a good thing to have oversight as it had to change the rule regarding news in early prime. 5pm falls just outside of that. Weird that they don’t want news at 6.30 but with ITV and BBC having news blocks 6-7 and Channel 4 between 7-8 it doesn’t leave them many other options. Not even late news unlike here with news blocks between 10-11 on BBC and ITV.

Maybe Channel 4 and 5 need to put on late night news so it can compete with BBC and ITV

Channel 4 was knocked off air by an evacuation at their play out partners building. Still hours later the main channel is back on except for HD which shows this
And 4music which is static.
Edit: this twitter thread has good details on what happened, it affected most channels actually not just 4. https://twitter.com/scottygb/status/1441832798013120517?s=21

BBC One and Two comes from RED BEE (White City, London) as well [also plays out Channel 4 and Channel 5] but luckily playout in Salford provided a back up - so tonight’s live Strictly Come Dancing went off without a hitch (Well apart from some super generic continuity…)

They would make this factually inaccurate since David Tennant playing some to of criminal or victims after the stint of Tenth Doctor had finished
What?
My spelling got wrong which is meant to be some of, neitherless they would not have consulted the people for the miniseries

What? I don’t understand what you are saying.
That mini series will make this inaccurate if they do not consult the people who may know Alexander Litvinenko
This is in the article:
Litvinenko is produced with the support of many of the key individuals involved in the investigation and subsequent public enquiry including former Scotland Yard officers, Clive Timmons and Brent Hyatt, along with Ben Emmerson QC and Alexander’s family
The first glimpses of an upcoming BBC refresh have been revealed.
