Poll of 2006
Well, as we say hello to 2007 and goodbye on 2006, it's time to reflect on the year gone by with the annual UKGameshows Poll of the Year.Like last time, we want to know your favourite and least favourite new formats. However, this year we have a third category, we want you to cut through the hyperbole and tell us what you really watched last year.
And of course, there's a bribe involved, so everybody who participates in all three categories will get put into a draw where not just one, but TWO lucky punters will win a tenner... each!
The instructions appear below. Once you've read them all, you'll need to send your ballots to poll2006@ukgameshows.com, and you will need to get them in by the end of Friday 19th January. The top fives in each category will be revealed the week after. Thank you and good luck!
Best New Show of 2006
- We want you to tell us what the best new show of 2006 was. A list of all the avaliable shows to choose from will follow at the end of the page. You may pick revivals.
- You have three votes.
- You may, if you feel strongly about any particular show, weigh your choices by giving one of your shows two or even all three of your allotted votes.
- Please put each vote on a separate line so we can be absolutely sure of your intentions. For example, if you wanted to use two votes for one show and your final vote for another show in your e-mail, make it look something like:
