	100 Worst Britons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The poll by the British TV station Channel 4 in 2003, was inspired by the BBC series 100 Greatest Britons, though it was less serious in nature.
		The poll specified that the nominees had to be British, alive and not currently in prison or pending trial, although enough respondents ignored this for a fictional character and a pop band to be listed among the "winners".
		The programme was a countdown from No. 100 to No. 1, featuring TV clips of the Britons in question, together with various commentators suggesting why they had made the list.

	100 Greatest Britons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 2002, the BBC conducted a vote to discover the 100 Greatest Britons of all time.
		The highest-placed Scottish entry was Alexander Fleming in 20th place, with the highest Welsh entry Owain Glyndŵr in 23rd.
		Due to the nature of the poll used to select and rank the Britons, the results do not pretend to be an objective assessment.

	Stormcaller.net: 100 Worst Britons?
		What a ridiculous farce of a programme "100 Worst Britons" was.
		The results, after 100,000 votes cast by the public on the Channel 4 website, who could vote as many times as they liked, are pathetic.
		The BBC's "Great Britons" programme was not only interesting and insightful, but was also well chosen (though Isaac Newton should definitely have been first).

	Blair tops worst Britons poll - [Sunday Herald]
		The Labour leader fielded the most votes in a poll of 100,000 people by Channel 4 -- although it is worth noting the polling came during February and March as he struggled to convince the nation of the need for a war on Iraq.
		Three members of the Royal family appeared on the list, with the Queen crowned 10th most annoying Briton, her son Edward 40th and his wife Sophie 63rd.
		Surprisingly, however, television schedulers did not appear in the top 100, despite an increasing tendency to recycle tired ideas in order to fill hours of cheap airtime.

		For the most part it I thought it showed that the British like a celebrity as long as that person remembers their worth more than the tall poppy syndrome, its when celebs rate themselves as more important than we know they are that they get dumped on.
		Also the problem with the Channel 4 100 Worst/Greatest polls is that you're given a list of 100 to vote from (you can write in others, but that involves thought and effort on the voder's part).

		Labour spin-doctors, including Alistair Campbell (number 57) and Peter Mandelson (49), attempted to put a positive light on the results by initially arguing that Mr Blair was not actually British, but with little success.
