100 Greatest (UK TV series)

100 Greatest is a long-running TV strand on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom that has been broadcasting since 1999. The "list show" programmes are generally public polls, and reflect the votes of visitors to the Channel 4 website. However, the results of some of the polls are determined by experts. The programmes are usually broadcast in the weekend schedule, in three- or four-hour blocks, throughout the year. They are also repeated on E4 on Saturday nights. The single "Bentley's Gonna Sort You Out!" (by Bentley Rhythm Ace) has featured in the soundtrack of some of the earlier programmes, while others include various tracks from the Daft Punk album Discovery.
