BFI TV 100

The BFI TV 100 is a list of 100 television programmes or series that was compiled in 2000 by the British Film Institute (BFI), as chosen by a poll of industry professionals, with the aim to determine the best British television programmes of any genre that had been screened up to that time.

[1] The British Film Institute television programme poll was conducted in the year 2000,[citation needed] and its results are reflected in the list that appears in a following section.

[citation needed] Sport was excluded for similar reasons, and also because many events such as the 1966 World Cup, while important to those in England, would not necessarily matter to those in other areas of the UK.

[citation needed] The provisional list of 650 was then distributed to 1,600 television industry professionals in the UK, who were each given 30 votes.

[citation needed] The judges were also asked to name their top overseas programme (where the U.S. sitcom Frasier was chosen).

The BBC produced 70 of the 100 programmes on the list.
Granada Television produced 7 of the 100 programmes on list—the largest by a commercial broadcaster. [ citation needed ]
