The Independent Television Commission (ITC) has announced that it is to impose a fine of £150,000 on Channel 4 following the discovery that one of its documentaries was found to be fake in parts (see Newsline).
The programme, broadcast in September 1997, was about Glasgow rent boys and called Too Much Too Young: Chickens. It was judged to be in breach of Section 3.7(i) of the ITC Programme Code.
At the end of last year, Carlton was fined £2 million by the ITC for faking its documentary The Connection.
