I don't think the original Tyne Tees produced Top 100s have ever been bettered.
Well, they were credited to Tyne Tees, but could have been produced by any of the GMG stations! I think by that stage the name on the prod cap meant very little.
No, they were made by Tyne Tees' factual department, and left a legacy that remains to this day in the form of Shiver Productions.
Or just look up the clips on YouTube and enjoy them without having Coleen Nolan tell you that a dog pooping on the course was The Best Moment Of Crufts Ever.
Yes, they show more than is normally available and also some stuff I hadn't heard of let alone seen.
As mentioned earlier they showed the aftermath of the Time The Place incident both on air and in the studio. The last episode before Christmas included a lot more of that infamous UP2U episode than I'd seen since live.
As these things go they're really well researched - it's not just the obvious well-worn clips
Isn't it the case that the talking heads are often just there so they can get away with not clearing the clips properly, just fair deal it as a review?

Yes - these shows may well be using Fair Dealing legislation (Criticism and Review, or in some cases quotation). If you see writers, directors, production companies, distributors credited on a caption, chances are it is being fair dealt. You can fair deal in voice over - but talking heads are an easier way, and allow you to fair deal more effectively.
Some of these shows WILL clear and pay for clips - if they aren't actually criticising or reviewing the clips, and using them more to tell a separate story.
