Channel 4 has unveiled its inaugural collaboration with the emerging independent production company, Cornick Productions. The documentary, titled 'A Very British Space Launch,' will mark Cornick Productions' debut commission with the channel. Scheduled to air on Monday, August 28, 2023, at 10pm on Channel 4, this one-hour observational documentary delves into the captivating behind-the-scenes narrative of Virgin Orbit, led by Richard Branson. The program focuses on their ambitious endeavour to achieve the groundbreaking feat of launching a rocket into orbit from UK territory.
The documentary prominently features in-depth interviews with 'Stanny,' the pilot spearheading the mission.
