Today we bid farewell to Current UK, the British branch of documentary television channel Current TV.
Their young and talented staff produced and commissioned a diverse variety of documentaries for five years. They explored contentious social issues, politics and the very nature of documentary itself. They also looked beyond Britain and the States and gave us true life stories from oft unseen places.
I will miss the channel personally, having worked for the team. Furthermore I will miss their diverse and hard-hitting programming. Their shows welcomely filled a huge gap on British television on a day to day basis – now this gap is wide open once more.
Current TV continues in the USA and UK viewers can follow Current via http://current.com/
