Remember the old days? The days of VHS tapes and panicked button-mashing on a remote. You’d run from the kitchen, tea sloshing everywhere, just to catch the start of a show.
Now? You just saunter over to channel 104 (or whatever it is on your box—let’s be honest, who memorises these numbers anymore?). Oh look, you think. The show’s already started. No sweat. I’ll catch it on +1.
It’s the ultimate safety net. It’s the TV equivalent of having a spare tyre in your boot. You might never need it, but when you do, you feel like a genius.

But when you spot that +1 symbol next to Channel 4? It’s a beacon of hope. It’s a little sticky note from the universe saying, “Hey, we know you’re disorganised. We’ve got your back.”
Seriously. You can plan your evening around it. “I’ll watch the news first, then at 9:01, I’ll flip to C4+1 for the comedy show I missed at 8.” Perfect logic. You feel like a tactical genius.
