Poll of the Year 2017

Revision as of 00:01, 12 January 2018

Halley's Comet comes round about every 75 years. The FIFA World Cup comes round every four years. Parsley blooms every two years. However the UKGameshows.com/Bother's Bar Poll is even better than those things because incredibly it happens every year, and now it is time to run to run it again for the shows of 2017.

As is traditional we want to know your favourite new formats of the year, your least favourite, the best show currently being broadcast and any of your stand-out moments of the year. Once again we aim to do a live Youtube broadcast of the results in due course.

Voting is now over.

Thanks very much for all your votes, look out for the results very soon!
