Gold viewers voted to create a shortlist of their favourite all-time comedians. They are titans of comedy, their names becoming a by-word for joy and laughter.
But, who made the cut? And when it comes to the crunch, who is the best of the best? A jury of comedy experts crown the nation's top funny person as: Britain's Greatest Comedian.

Gold's jury consists of Roy Hudd, Sally Phillips, Stephen Mangan, John Thomson, Darren Harriott, Ronni Ancona, David Quantick, Boyd Hilton and Nina Wadia.
