Our Stories

• Watchlist

Our Stories (2020) is a unique first for British television. The four biggest terrestrial television networks in the UK; the BBC, ITV (or STV in Scotland), Channel 4, and Channel 5, united for the first time to create this film celebrating how British TV shapes our culture. The film was shown as a TV advertisement, on the biggest channels from each network, at the exact same time. The BBC doesn't normally show adverts, apart from to show what's coming up next on their own channels, so this was even more unique for them. The TV channels which broadcast the advert were; BBC One, BBC Two, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, STV, UTV, S4C, 4Seven, E4, More4, Film4, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, ITVBe, 5STAR, 5USA, 5Select, Paramount Network, and BBC Four, at exactly 8:58pm on the 8th of January 2020. It continued to be shown on TV for the rest of the month, along with on their respective websites, and social media pages.
