Mystery grows as Channel 4 Dispatches is slated for 90-minute special on Saturday at 9pm
- Channel 4 says there will be a ’90-minute special Dispatches investigation’
- Rumours go into overdrive about whether it could relate to a famous person
Mystery grew today over who could be the subject of a major Channel 4 Dispatches documentary which is set to be broadcast tomorrow night.
Rumours on social media went into overdrive about whether a scandal about a famous person could feature in the 90-minute special which is due to air at 9pm.
The Channel 4 TV guide simply lists the hotly-anticipated programme as ‘New: Dispatches Special. A 90-minute special Dispatches investigation’.


A link to the programme page comes up a message saying: ‘That page cannot be found. Either the address is incorrect or the page is no longer available.’
Radio Times magazine also had the programme in this week’s listings, with the description: ‘Dispatches – Investigation series covering issues in British society, politics, international current affairs, health, religion and the environment.’
The programme is due to finish at 10.30pm, but will also be repeated on Channel 4 on Sunday at 10.50pm and on Monday on its sister channel 4seven at 9pm.
Among those posting an image on X of the description on the Channel 4 TV guide was the channel’s news anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy, who said: ‘Something’s up.’
Channel 4 has not yet returned MailOnline’s request for comment today.
