THE 100 GREATEST POP VIDEOS
Pop videos have become an integral part of the way we remember our favourite songs.
We don't just store our greatest hits in our own personal jukebox. We replay them in our mind's eye.
So when we hear Duran Duran's Rio we also recall it visually. (Did they ever get the seawater stains out of those Paul Smith suits?)
And Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice will forever evoke images of Christopher Walken dancing (and flying) his way through a hotel lobby.
The 100 Greatest Pop Videos will show how the music video has become one of the most popular and influential genres in modern culture.
The show will trace the development of the pop promo, from The Beatles to Beyonce and beyond, speaking to those who made it all happen, both in front of and behind the camera.
Along the way, the show will reveal all about the big budget shoots, the technological breakthroughs and the near-fatal disasters. It will look at the often difficult relationship between pop star and promo director and the effect that these small-but-perfectly-formed films have had on the world.
And over four hours the show will count down from 100 to 1 the greatest ever pop videos as voted for by Channel 4 viewers.
You might prefer the trail-blazing efforts of acts like Bob Dylan or Queen. Maybe you feel that it's the MTV generation of George Michael and Madonna who have best used the video format. Or perhaps you believe that contemporary acts like Bjork and OutKast have moved the promo video onto a new level.
