velo army Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Kicking myself for not including Mr Robot. An incredibly smart and entertaining show. Derry Girls being in the top 50 though. Yeesh. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular in its own right, it's probably one of the best and most successful examples of this sort of Transatlantic franchising out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 31 Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights (2001-2002) "I'm getting the word... nonce" Remember Peter Kay ? What were that all about ? After suffering the tragic loss of two former establishments, The Aquarius (flooded) and the Neptune (burned down), wheelchair user Brian Potter has dreams of seeing The Phoenix Club becoming Bolton's premier entertainment venue with the help of Jerry St. Clair and the bouncers Max and Paddy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the very few shows that spawned from a Mockumentary and was so good it got it’s own spin off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 (edited) 30 Twin Peaks (1990-2017) "every day, once a day, give yourself a present" A trip over to the Black Lodge in Twin Peaks now for a look inside David Lynch's very surreal and very weird brain. Up 3 places from the 2012 poll. Edited January 3 by Chris Partlow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My all time favourite show ever, especially The Return which was aired 25 years after the original Series 1 & 2. Up 3 places from last Poll so I'll take that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not watched The Return yet and will need to go back and watch the 1st 2 series again beforehand probably, but Lynch is some boy. Mulholland Drive is in my all time Top 10 films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 28 Doctor Who (1963-) "exterminate, exterminate" One of the BBC's longest running and most beloved shows, with various Doctors battling extra terrestrials down the years. They're on to the 15th one now I think. Also guaranteed to make certain middle aged men's craniums explode should they cast (shock) a woman or (horror) a black guy as a fictional Time Lord who travels in a police box spaceship. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 27 Star Trek: The Original Series (1966-1969) "To bodly go where no man has gone before" The OG of space and Sci fi series only ran for 3 years (and a few films tbf) but has clearly influenced much of what came after it as Bill Shatner is shagger Captain Kirk, leading his crew through the galaxy. This is up 22 places from 2012's 50th place. Please aim all phaser fire in the direction of @scottsdad and his fellow nerds who I assume will already have shields set to deflect. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 7 hours ago, Chris Partlow said: 42 = Only Fools and Horses (1981-2003) "this time next year we'll be millionaires" Dropping from 14th place in 2012 is the iconic duo of Del Boy and Rodney Trotter as they duck and dive their way across the 80's and 90's from Nelson Mandela House in Peckham with the help of Trigger, Grandad, Uncle Albert and Boycie. The 1996 episode "Time on our Hands" still holds the record for the biggest UK audience for a sitcom episode at an eye watering 24.3 million. Cushty. Genuinely, would someone be able to explain to me why anyone enjoys only fools and horses? I’ve seen it a few teams and find it to be, at best, the standard of Mrs Browns Boys. People can like what they like and that obviously, but I just don’t get it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I can only assume that Football's Hardest Away Days, the pinnacle of noughties British TV, has made a late dart into the top twenty, hence its omission to date. I, for one, will be there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a whole list of programmes selected here that I think are utter shite. There's no accounting for taste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen any of it tbh, maybe the Yank version of The Bill ? An absolute insult to Hill Street Blues, which incidentally has one of the all time great theme tunes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
