David Farnor | On 03, Dec 2015
Every month, people clamour to keep up with what’s coming soon to Netflix UK or Amazon Prime Video, but for a lot of online streamers, shorts are where it’s at. Short-form content makes up the most-watched videos on the web: from YouTube to Vines and Facebook, they fetch billions of views a day thanks to their ability to viewed on the go.
It’s little wonder, then, that BBC iPlayer has begun to commission more original short content for its platform. Channel 4, though, are arguably leading the pack with its dedicated Shorts section on All 4. Which is why we give you a rundown every month of what shorts are new and coming soon to All 4.
