Poll: Political TV Programme of the Year
Between now and the end of the year I'll be asking you to vote in a range of polls on the best and worst of 2006 in the world of politics. The second poll is on the best political TV programmes - see the column on the left. Modesty forbade me from including 18DoughtyStreet!

Best political TV probably has to be Question time. Very real.
When I appear in the audience, I'm taken in early and the camera focuses on me to clock me good and proper.
2nd is the Andrew Neil thingy with Portillo and Labour two faced traitor Abbott.
3rd Nothing.
4th OK, radio 4 today (class)tv without faces.
Doom.
I like both the daily politics and This week because they both make for must watch viewing for different reasons.
Daily politics is for the political anorak and This Week is for the people out there who have a life outside politics.
Andrew Neil really does not get the appeal of David Cameron's strategy for the conservatives and it shows. But he is the best political journalist on TV and has made watching politics interesting again.
andrew neil show is nauseating. portillo's a has-been, abbott is a grinning moron and brillo just sits there licking his own face off.
"isnt politics a jolly old game", he seems to say every week. well, no, not really, pal. and you have a face like a baboon's bum.
boulton's show's good. question time would be better if it was back down to 4 people and had a tougher panel chairman who made the pols answer people's questions. it's become like PMQs, an excuse for smug little speeches.
sopel's show is ok but can be 'hard yards' on sunday lunchtime. hard talk depends entirely on who the guest is.
daily politics? "let me just read out some of your emails". NO! that's what the internet is for! stop it! apart from that, it's ok.
best has to be newsnight. when it's on form, it's top class.
Politics is Showbizz but so few have learned their lines.
Best TV............Panorama with Robin Day 1970s
