LIFE'S A BEACH: Fourteen determined celebrities entered this year's Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins

WHAT IS the point of Channel 4? Launched in 1980, the commercially funded, publicly owned alternative to the BBC was initially refreshing and daring. They had Football Italia, strong dramas like GBH, and Phil Redmond's Brookside - for years TV's most enjoyable soap. Their sitcoms were genuinely funny (Father Ted, Peep Show, Catastrophe, Derry Girls). The Big Breakfast was the brightest way to start the day and TFI Friday surfed the BritPop wave.

C4 also changed TV for a generation with Big Brother, although I'm inclined to think not for the better.

Sadly, under CEO Alex Mahon, the channel has become the TV equivalent of a perverted flasher in a dirty mac.

Starmer has limited our access to online porn, but who needs it when you can see graphic real-life threesomes (and foursomes) on Open House: The Great Sex Experiment? Not to mention a steamy fictional menage a trois on The Couple Next Door and dehumanising dross like the mercifully axed Naked Attraction.

Last month they gleefully aired 1000 Men & Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, a documentary glamourising Tia "Bonnie" Billinger and her extreme sex stunts - the TV equivalent of clickbait (watchable with no proof of age).

The channel feeds on porn culture without considering the damage it causes.
