I visited the U.K. for a couple of weeks over the Summer. I miss waking up and getting dressed with Channel 4 on in the mornings. Waking up to Cheers and Everyone loves Raymond. That's quality. And I miss the U.K. it's lush greenery and history. It was amazing. Much love from America. Y'all have a beautiful country.
To be fair though these idents are fantastic, The creativity of the the character made from the blocks of the 4 logo and the nod to Channel 4's past with Fourscore nostalgic and modern at the same time so well done a huge step up from 2015
I'm transfixed whenever that football in the street one comes on, at the kids' skills and bravado. So gutted I moved from a terraced house with loads of kids my age around when I was 7, first to a boring road of semis full of retired people, then at 12 on to an even more boring and isolated village!
A massive improvement on the last set. Lovely to hear that Fourscore has made a return. The previous idents were quite boring in retrospect; these new ones are hilarious and are a breath of fresh air.
I thought i was the only one with this specific memory, i remember when i was a bit younger hearing these in the evening especially the football one excited to go to sleep because i was excited to go swimming the next day :)
The ident where ‘4’ kicks the ball through the window is on the corner of Cecil Street and Cardigan Street in Wavertree Liverpool. It’s a few streets away from where Leonard Rossiter was born in Cretan Street and half a mile away from George Harrison’s childhood home in Arnold Grove, around a mile away is John Lennon’s childhood home in Newcastle Road and around the corner to that house is Penny Lane !
I liked the old ones with the crystals and the caves. The music was really moving. These are okay too, but are just a little too reminiscent of that robot from Interstellar.
The channel 4 Giant idents are some of my favourite, and I love them, the creativity and charm they have is amazing, I wish I could watch Channel 4 where I'm from but just because of the idents ( Also I'd get to watch shows from Britain without a dub ), sadly it's UK exclusive Cheers from Poland
Fantastic to have Fourscore back after, what, 25 years off our screens! Although the first one is absolutely terrifying. Does David Dundas still get £1000 per week in royalties?
Eh, they're alright. Personally I've always gone for a 1999 feel, but some bits in this compilation were quite humorous and well thought out. I definitely think that these are better than the last batch as they feel like thought has gone into them. Hats off.
What I think of the C4 idents: 1982-1996, 2007: Some classics! 1996-1999: Dk 1999-2004: Cool 2004-2015: My personal favourites 2015-2017: The Windows Vista of the Channel 4 idents 2017-????: Funny
They've missed a trick with the break bumpers. They should've been the classic 82-96 coloured blocks on a black background! Someone should make a mock of it. The Paralympic one is brilliant, I think the 4man is running like Richard Whitehead!
Amazing! If the first one was real, I would survive inside my sweet home Picture 🐂 🌎 Also if the bull does that that metal thing would run away and to my house to see me
I'm surprised that there has not been a new batch of these idents since the 2017 refresh. - I mean the 4 currently in use are good and all but could do with some new additions to add to the idents
In a Geordie dialect- "Tonight on 4, we'll be showing some Northern people yelling about their poverty. The programme contains very strong language and some nudity."
Aww 2:16 how sweet! Just like those dinghies stuffed full of doctors, nurses, engineers and pharmacists all coming to contribute and integrate to our society

Breath of fresh air. Literally. Especially with the first ident in this video lol
I’m 100% certain on the last ident he’s saying “See you later”
stay at home byline is on 2020
I think he did 😂
Sad life of bbc four:
Kids: bye little 4
It's "Get f***ed!" isn't it?
2 mins .12 secs, this the new dinghy rescue service?
Unbelievable that no one has gone to jail for that last ident.
Blood on their self righteous hands
I'm starting to see why people think the media is London centric. UK TV is pretty much South London.
I remember those current Channel 4 idents all right. I think the wheelchair race is my favourite one.
The football (soccer) ident was my favorite out of all 4!
Filmed in Cardigan Street, Wavertree, Liverpool...
I love the one roaring people fell of bikes car alarms went on and kids shouting and the man shouting ear defenders put on window closed
I'm not sure about you , but I came here to this video for the calming song
It's so sweet
I wish someone uploaded the instrumental version of the song.
I loved that harmony at the end
I trust you're being ironic?
Nice to see my home (the Hope Valley) as the setting of the first one, quite popular among TV channels.
I like how the fanfare is in the guitar melody as well.
1:09 is Cecil Street Liverpool and 1:34 is New Brighton Wirral. I jog down there most days.
It's Cardigan Street in Wavertree cecil Street has the broken window it's a shit hole
and the start is the great ridge walk in the peak district
@@mediumleftmediumleft5052 Fourth ident is somewhere along the White Cliffs of Dover
Happy 40th birthday, Channel Four! Here's to the next 40! Love from Canada.
Why the channel 4 tune so calm
It’s based on the original channel 4 theme, called “Fourscore” written by David Dundas and premiered on November 2nd 1982.
I like them! I think with some variations on the Fourscore music it would make them even fresher. :)
These Idents Are So Iconic, The Music, Everything, Memories Of Watching C4 Every Morning At My Caravan.
I thought i was the only one with this specific memory, i remember when i was a bit younger hearing these in the evening especially the football one excited to go to sleep because i was excited to go swimming the next day :)
People criticise these ads but I find them to be so beautiful and moving💜
What everyday for over 5 years yh.. okay
I would like to see behind the scenes of these idents & how Channel 4 made them please 🙏

Glad to hear they bought 'fourscore' back in some way or another
So cute! I want to hug the big "4" metallic character.
Quatorzine fake you
@@Moviesxp ?
That metallic giant is funny.
Nice use of "Fourscore" (as it hasn't been used since the '80s or '90s, I think)
So glad someone else noticed this! Really loved the way they've managed to integrate it in different ways into different idents.
It was made in 2021
That white cliffs one is my fave. That little wave tho
It's amazing how the iconography of the four logo is so strong,it doesn't have to transform into a "4" anymore
I love being British
You're not British
Just Put a colored body and boom, NOSTALGIA!
british is english
petty hoek ..NO IT'S NOT
Just waiting for Countdown to come on... Suddenly, "Is that Mam Tor?!"
The football ident often gets cut short at 1:04.
Why? Is it for time constraints?
I liked the old ones with the crystals and the caves. The music was really moving. These are okay too, but are just a little too reminiscent of that robot from Interstellar.

And nicely subtly done.
