The broadcaster's commissioning editor for drama, Liza Marshall, has admitted that Channel 4 would not be meeting its target of 12 flagship pieces per year.

Other upcoming dramas include Mark of Cain, the Tony Marchant film about British soldiers in Iraq that will be shown in April; and Secret Life, Rowan Joffe's film about a child sex offender which stars former spooks actor Matthew Macfadyen.
