100 Greatest / 100 Worst
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 100 Greatest is a popular long running British TV strand on Channel 4. These are normally public polls, voted for by visitors of the Channel 4 website. However, some of the polls are decided on by experts. The programs are usually broadcast in the weekend schedule in three or four hour blocks throughout the year. The shows are also repeated on E4 on Saturday nights. The song "Bentley's Gonna Sort You Out!" (by Bentley Rhythm Ace) is used as the soundtrack for several of these shows.
