Channel 4 Top Ten (TV program)

Top Ten Is a humorous look at a set of top ten acts in various music and TV genres, broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK from 1995 to 2002.

Each episode contains a rundown of top ten artists, characters and TV shows.

The reason they qualify to appear in the top ten is based on a variety of criteria related to the genre they are in (or as Tony Blackburn put it in the Glam Top Ten episode "using facts, data and information").

The show has a format where the genre is introduced, a presenter introduces each of the acts and a narrator describes each of the acts in their segment.

The show uses talking heads and archive footage to tell the story of each act with funny and interesting insights.
