I remember the Channel 4 Daily, it didn't remain a shambles despite what's shown here and it developed into a decent format. When C4 axed it in 1992 in favour of The Big Breakfast, that was the beginning of C4 selling out to making £££ over quality programming and the slow but sure end of their commitment to public service broadcasting.

@hamster2166 I do, It's this one with the red and green squares.

@birdy100 The dots underneath the clock basically for every 15 seconds in the minute, it's not been done since in the UK.

I remember watching this in the morning as a kid. I'm sure there were some kids bits at some point in this, includng the American Dennis the Menace. Also recall Countdown Masters as well.

@Calfaeairdrie Well said, two professionals who both did a great job, both sadly missed.

What were the dot's under the clock for again?

Transmission-wise, the programme was all so automated it tended to feel a bit rigid and looking at those long lead-ins to features which Mark has kindly uploaded, it wasn't exactly as pacey as it could have been.
When even the on-screen clock indicates 15 second increments using a whole one of those just to lead in to Countdown Masters and that 2 part lead in to Kickback made it very stop-start.
It certainly was a bold and distinctive concept, though. I wonder who came up with it?
I can't pretend to have ever liked Channel 4 Daily, yet I can't praise them enough for trying out something new.
It was an effort, which is more than Channel 4 can claim to be making today.
