“This is a landmark moment for Channel 4, as we hit our biggest streaming day ever with 6.9 million views,” said Ian Katz, Chief Content Officer, Channel 4.
“It’s a powerful testament to the strength of our Altogether Different line-up — where reality, drama, factual and documentary programming come together to captivate audiences.
“From the irresistible drama of Married At First Sight UK to the cultural impact of Educating Yorkshire and the gripping storytelling of Lucy Letby: Murder or Mistake, our content continues to resonate deeply with viewers across the UK.”
Last year the broadcaster launched its “Fast Forward” strategy to accelerate its transformation into a digital-first public service streamer by 2030.
Returning to Hollyoaks, which this year marks its 30th Anniversary, Lime Pictures is to open up the set for tours – but for one week only.
Visitors will be able to buy tickets in advance to get a guided tour through the fictional village and explore the sets, but only on 25th and 26th October.
