1995 was one of Channel 4's most popular years, with Four Weddings and a Funeral, backed by FilmFour, pulling in ratings of more than 11 million, soap opera Brookside reached nine million with the body-under-the-patio storyline and the launch of teen soap Hollyoaks.
The channel's biggest hit in recent years has been Big Brother. The reality quiz show, where 10 people are locked into a house for up to three months and videoed around the clock, has seen some of the biggest ratings for the station in years. However despite the success of Big Brother, Channel 4's audience share dropped to 10% in 2001, it's lowest since 1991.
Channel 4 also announced its first loss for 10 years in 2001, but has forecast a return to profits in 2002.
Despite seeing its share of total terrestrial TV advertising revenue rise to 23.5% 2001, from 22% in 2000, the group made a loss of £20.6m.
