“Liberty 842 run the twitter feed for us and the production team work closely with them to realise some of their ideas… Now, seven series later, it’s proved to be an increasingly fruitful investment….

The mysterious Sam, who runs the Chatty Man feed, has her own fan base and very impressively manages to keep a very personal relationship going with the hundreds of thousands of followers both while the series is on, and in between when we’re off air.

It’s a mighty beast and punches far above its weight in terms of other television shows with twitter feeds. The chat show trends high every week and that in turn, encourages people to find the show on C4 +1 or video on demand or watch the repeat.”

Syedia Irtizaali, Commissioning Editor at Channel 4, speaking during Social Media Week, London, February 2012
