Poll of the Year 2013
Speaking of tedious, 2013 was the year that Channel 4 brought us Face the Clock. But don't fret, because there was some good stuff too (wasn't there?) and besides, we've got the small matter of the wooden spoon to award.
The polls open soon, so get your thinking caps on. Like last year we're interested in Best New Shows, Worst New Shows, Best Show generally, your favourite moments and anything that excited you internationally. We treat traditional games and quizzes and reality games equally here.
To help jog your memory, here's our list of what debuted in 2013. If we've missed something, please let us know:
