    The shortlist of the 10 they could vote for was absolutely ****...

    1. The Office (2003)
    2. I’m Alan Partridge (1999)
    3. Brass Eye *****philia Special (2002)
    4. Life On Mars (2007)
    5. Gavin And Stacey (2009)
    6. Big Brother (2001)
    7. Broadchurch (2014)
    8. Educating Yorkshire (2014)
    9. Man On Wire (2010)
    10. Who Do You Think You Are? (2006)
    Though even from that shortlist, I'm Alan Partridge was better.

    I think The Office is the greatest tv show of all time. It's got everything and is far from a straight comedy. The acting, drama and love-story are all brilliant.

    The top 3 and Man On Wire are all brilliant.

    Hang on, am I getting confused about Man On Wire? The thing I'm on about is a film from 2008 yet this says 2010.

    Never saw it. I thought Educating Yorkshire was really good. Not the best of the last twenty years though.

    You are joking right ? The Yank version was ****. America has pinched loads of British ideas, and made pigs knob of all of em. They even tried to do Farty Towels, and chose Raquel Welch to play the Basil role <doh>

    I can't believe Big Brother made that list, that **** is everything that is wrong in the world.

    I tell you what amazed me though, when they made an American version of Coupling which was just an even ****ter British version of Friends. That ****ed my head right up.

    The English version of Being Human is like a thousand times better than the American version.

    Your version of the office has that obnoxious Gervais. Steve Carroll played the part far better.

    Ricky Gervais annoyed the **** out of me & I could never get into it. Since then however he has done some very funny **** & he doesn't annoy me as much. Extras is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long while from the UK.

    Well yeah, Steve Carroll (sic) is a hired actor. He should play the part better.

    I like both but think the English version is superior. The English version remembers it is a spoof documentary whereas the US version flits weirdly between that and a straight sitcom. It's like it forgets sometimes what it is supposed to be. Plus with the UK version they knew when to stop, the US one went on far too long.
