Where are those shows?

To be fair, Channel 4 has a lot of new series in prime time starting next week, but I wouldn’t call them unique. They could have appeared on any channel, frankly.
A Lake District Farm Shop
Inside the Superbrands
SAS: Who Dares Wins
The Cane Field Killings (yes, I will watch that one)
Dispatches
Travel Man
Derry Girls
Hullraisers
Grand Designs
Naked Attraction’s Best Naughty Bits (oh, please!
Luxury Homes & Gardens for Less
Taskmaster
Hotel Chocolate at Easter
So which of those, watchable though most of them might be, can be described as ‘unique’’? You can find many similar programmes on Sky, and they are not great, frankly.

The shows in that list that I recognise are all shows that were only ever likely to have been made by Channel 4. You undermine your argument somewhat by invoking Sky, which is of course behind a paywall and therefore not providing the public service broadcasting that Channel 4’s defenders claim is at risk from privatisation.
