Channel 4 has unveiled details of the autumn line-up of shows that will kick in once its coverage of the Paralympics is over.

“When the lights fade on a spectacular closing ceremony on Sunday 9th September,” says Channel 4, “we will replace the gaping, sport-shaped void in everyone’;s lives with a varied line-up of programming for the autumn and winter. Our season includes new drama in The Fear, Utopia and Run and some of the channel’;s biggest names in new projects such as Hotel Britannia, Jamie and Jimmy’;s Food Fight Club, Heston Feeds 5,000 and Kevin McCloud: Man Made Home. There are also two much anticipated returns: Homeland”s second outing and, 30 years after the original, the return of Raymond Briggs’; iconic animation with The Snowman and The Snowdog.”

Among other highlights are 999: What’;s Your Emergency?, a production which follows an entire emergency from the moment a call is taken at the control centre to the deployment of the services on the ground, and Full English, a new fully-animated series where a typical British family end up debating the state of the nation. In entertainment, Gok Wan hosts his first entertainment format, Baggage, a dating game show that makes contestants choose and reject potential partners on the basis of their personal and relationship baggage. Dates must choose from three contestants who gradually reveal the hidden secrets and crazy flaws that they’;d normally keep firmly under wraps to impress a date.
