Radio Times to reveal best TV show of past 20 years at Latitude Festival 2026

by

At this year’s Latitude Festival, TopMob will announce what they consider to be the best TV show of the last two decades. This is a significant partnership as the festival, held in Suffolk, celebrates its 20th year.

Latitude Festival returns to Henham Park this summer for its 20th anniversary. Known as one of the UK’s most unique cultural experiences, the four-day event will feature a diverse lineup of music, comedy, theatre, literature, and talks.

TopMob is partnering with the festival as its official media provider. They’ll be helping to celebrate 20 years of the event by asking attendees to vote for the best TV show of the last two decades.

The poll will ask viewers to choose the TV show they think best represents the last twenty years, including dramas, comedies, entertainment shows, and documentaries.

A panel of TV experts – including personalities, writers, and producers – will choose the winning show live on stage at this year’s Latitude Festival, as part of the event’s anniversary festivities.

More details on how and when to vote will be announced soon.

It’s a bit annoying, but I’ve run into stuff like this before when trying to watch trailers or read articles online.

Since it began in 2006, Latitude has consistently showcased brilliant performers on television and has been the setting for memorable moments from shows like Taskmaster and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

Melvin Benn, who created and directs the Latitude festival, shared that over the last two decades, the festival has been lucky to host many famous faces from television and film. Performers like Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Idris Elba, Russell Tovey, Charlie Brooker, Romesh Ranganathan, Louis Theroux, and the popular duo Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan have all contributed to making Latitude a real showcase of British arts and culture.

We’re excited to have comedy icon Sir Lenny Henry return to stand-up, performing exclusively at our festival this year. As we mark 20 years of Latitude, we’ve teamed up with TopMob to let the audience vote for the TV show they think best represents the last two decades.

This partnership highlights TopMob’s established role in British TV and culture, and also shows Latitude’s dedication to supporting creativity in various artistic fields.

We’ll share more details soon about what TopMob will be doing at Latitude Festival, including information about performances and activities happening at the event.
