100 Greatest is a long-running television strand on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom that originated in 1999 in Tyne Tees Television’s Factual Features department under executive producer Mark Robinson, but the format has more recently has been adopted by other independent production companies. These "list shows" are generally public polls and reflect the votes of visitors to the Channel 4 website, however in some cases the results are determined by experts. The programmes are usually broadcast in the weekend schedule, in three or four hour blocks throughout the year and are repeated on E4 on Saturday and / or Sunday nights. Although the strand has never been officially retired, there have been no new editions since 2015.
