Sky Arts to relaunch

Stephen Mangan in Birthday

The move will see a 10% increase in programming investment for the channel, which moves up the EPG to channel 121.

New one-off drama Birthday, adapted from Joe Penhall’s sell-out play, will air on Tuesday evening.

Stephen Mangan stars as Ed, a pregnant man waiting to give birth on an NHS maternity ward, accompanied by his high-flying executive wife (Anna Maxwell Martin).

The broadcaster has made a commitment to increasing high-quality arts programming across Europe.
