25 x 4 is a major new book commissioned to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Channel 4. Published by Cultureshock Media, this eclectic, illustrated collection of provocative essays, articles and interviews, photographs and visuals sets out to mirror the creative approach that has guided Channel 4’s editorial decision-making in the quarter-century of its existence.

Amongst over 100 diverse contributions are Michael Gallagher, father of an Omagh victim, recalling his reasons for participation in a Channel 4 film on the tragedy; Hanif Kureshi discussing multi-cultural society; a chronicle on the dilemmas of today’s youth by clinical psychologist Oliver James, and a view of the reality behind Father Ted by a Catholic priest, Father Seed.

Further contributors include Niall Ferguson, Jon Snow, Peter Oborne, Hanif Kureshi, Alan Carr, Tamsin Greig, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Richard Mabey, Rita Konig, Andrew O'Hagan, Alain de Botton, Peter York, Miranda Sawyer, Christopher Meyer and many others.
