Home > 100 Worst Britons
In 2003, Channel 4 conducted a vote to discover the 100 Worst Britons We Love To Hate. The rules dictated that the winner had to be British and alive and not currently in prison or pending trial, though enough respondents ignored the rules that a fictional character and a rock band are listed among the "winners".The results of the vote were shown in a TV show on C4, presented by Jimmy Carr, a British comedian. The show lasted a few hours, and went through the list from No. 100 counting up to No. 1, featuring TV clips of the Briton in question, together with various commentators suggesting why they made the list.
The vote was inspired by the BBC series 100 Greatest Britons, though it was less serious in nature.
The results reflected the opinions of those who voted on the Channel Four website. As with similar votes, little or no effort was expended to prevent people from voting multiple times. The resulting list turned out to consist mostly of minor celebrities and politicians.
