<div class="square" style="float:left">[[Image:Square Vote.jpg]]</div> 'Ello 'ello 'ello, what's all this then? Did someone call the Poll-ice? Get your thinking caps on, The Poll of the Year 2017 opens to all on January 2nd, so join us then!

<div class="square" style="float:left">[[Image:Square Vote.jpg]]</div> 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.
 +
 
 +
==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 Thursday 11th January 2018'''.
 +
 
 +
==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 2017.
 +

 +
 
 +
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.
 +
