10 O'Clock Live is a British comedy/news television programme that ran from 2011 to 2013, presented by Charlie Brooker, Jimmy Carr, Lauren Laverne and David Mitchell.[2]

The programme was commissioned following the success of Channel 4's Alternative Election Night, fronted by the same four presenters, in May 2010.[3] The first series appeared in 2011,[4] with two subsequent series broadcast in 2012 and 2013.[1][5] In October 2014 it was confirmed that the show would not be continuing.[6]

The song "Bernie" by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion was used for the show's theme.
