After months of anticipation Channel 4 has arrived to Leeds launching their welcome with IPM's neighbour's at Prime Studios! Creating a New Era for the company as they open their new national headquarters in the heart of Yorkshire, this is a move that will change the entire TV and Film landscape for the city. Creating new jobs and commissioning new series from their new headquarters, the move has been welcomed by locals and here at IPM we would like to take this opportunity to welcome Channel 4 to Leeds by highlighting 5 of our favourite comedies brought to the UK by Channel 4.

​End of the F****** World
Gearing up for its second series End of the F****** World made a huge impact when it’s first aired in 2017. Its stars Alex Lawther, who plays an angst filled teens who believes he is a psychopath and Jessica Barden, who plays love interest Alyssa. The two embark on an adventure to escape Alyssa's turbulent home. The pair travel across England and through a series of mishaps they grow closer to each other. The show unapologetically is making its mark on British television.

​Derry Girls
 
Set during the Troubles in Northern Ireland Derry Girls is a sitcom about a group of high school girls who get into mischief. The show has just been commissioned for its third season and is showing that it is here to stay, garnering a strong following in its first couple of seasons. The shows setting of 1990s Ireland plays on the nostalgia of it’s more mature audience and the cast of young girls are relatable to many young girls today. Complete with a great soundtrack Derry Girls is a sign that Channel 4 will continue to push the limits of situational comedies for years to come.
