After Dark

1987 · 3 seasons

A slow, talky late-night conversation where unpredictable guests argue live, so it feels thoughtful and occasionally tense but never visually eventful.

Overview
After Dark was a British late night live discussion programme broadcast on Channel 4 television between 1987 and 1997, and on the BBC in 2003. Inspired by an Austrian programme called Club 2, Roly Keating of the BBC described it as "one of the great television talk formats of all time". In 2010 the television trade magazine Broadcast wrote "After Dark defined the first 10 years of Channel 4, just as Big Brother did for the second".
