Revision as of 16:46, 2 January 2017
2016, a year of upheaval and change bought about by the ballot box. But there remains one poll that could end up being the most controversial and contentious of the lot - that's right, it's time for the thirteenth (!) running of the annual UKGameshows.com/Bother's Bar Poll of the Year!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.
Contents |
The rules
- In each category (except the favourite moments one, which is freestyle) you have FIVE VOTES.
- That means you can vote for UP TO FIVE SHOWS. You are not obliged to use all your votes.
- Please use one line per vote, it makes it easier for us to count.
- If you feel particularly strongly about a show you can give it a second vote, please write this as a separate line for the avoidance of doubt.
- One set of votes per person.
- You are welcome (but not obligated) to leave comments to back up your votes. These may be used in the final write up – please try to keep them reasonably brief.
- Whilst we welcome input and insight from production, you’re advised to be honest about affiliation, we reserve the right to discount votes that look dodgy. Our decision is final.
- Get a move on, voting closes 23:59 GMT Friday 13th January 2017.
The categories
- Hall of FAME – For the best new shows and formats of the last year.
- Hall of SHAME – For the worst new shows and formats of the last year.
- Golden Five – For any shows for made primarily for the UK market that had a new first-run episode broadcast in 2015.
- Favourite moments – For your favourite moments. If there are Youtube videos, that would be handy.
A list of new formats can be found below. We give shiny floor show and competitive unscripted reality equal weight. You can vote for revivals.
How to vote
The preferred method is via the form at Bother's Bar. However we also accept e-mail ballots, please send them to poll@bothersbar.co.uk and they'll get to the same place.
