Father Ted, IT Crowd among Channel 4 shows leaving Netflix, LoveFilm Father Ted, The IT Crowd and Peep Show are among the classic Channel 4 shows that will be removed from Netflix UK and LoveFilm Instant. Channel 4s licenses are to expire on both streaming services, according to VODzilla. They will be removed from Netflix on Saturday (February 15), followed a few days later on LoveFilm. The Inbetweeners, Shameless and Green Wing are said to also be among the longlist of shows to be removed from the services. The move follows Channel 4s recent removal of content from YouTube, leaving the only option to watch shows on 4oD. Channel 4 recently said to Wired about the YouTube removals: As a not-for-profit broadcaster funded by advertising, we put our money back into the programmes themselves. To make the best of this investment, weve decided to focus on bringing online viewers of our full-length shows to our own 4oD apps - such as those on iOS, Android and channel4. These apps also allow us to encourage more viewing by recommending programmes we think people will appreciate, and to provide viewers with additional services. However, a spokesperson has not ruled out a return to Netflix and LoveFilm, saying: VoD content has been part of Netflix since its very first day in the UK over two years ago - and weve had a line-up of Channel 4 shows on Amazon for some time now. We value our partnerships with both Netflix and Amazon and have ongoing discussions about the makeup of our content showcase on the platforms.
