The agenda-setting drama made a loss despite being the UK's most-watched TV show of the year so far.

They did, however, do a public good.
I’m sure Channel 4 loses similar amounts for some of the Dispatches.

It’s got to the point in linear television where the only money-makers are sports, and cheap production quiz/reality shows.
Even when you have a drama that captures the nation, it’s tricky to make a profit on it.
