The programme, hosted by Phil Taggart, runs on a simple concept focusing on the music. It is displayed in a very casual and intimate way.
Each week brings a different musician(s) along in a studio discussing music thoughts and allowing them to choose and play their favourite 10 sounds of the past 4 weeks. Hence the 'Best Before' title, it keeps the show current and really pushes people to delve and discover what is interesting out there in the world. The selections are brought together into a mix, which, then crosses over to the digital side - after the show, viewers can check out the website and download this specially curated mix. The online blog site is also updated regularly with new music.
Watch 'Best Before' at 12.05am every Thursday on Channel 4, or catch up on All4.
