A lot of people don't know that it was the controller of BBC 2 who commissioned Monty Python's Flying Circus, who was, the now Sir David Attenborough.

What about EASTENDERS or MATCH OF THE DAY or even MRS BROWNS BOYS?

[tanithjohnson]

I love Faulty Towers soo funny and wonderful and of course I'm a huge Doctor who fan

[CatherineBoone]

One of my favorite BBC shows is ''Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em' with Frank Spencer.

[Domak]

My favourites are:
-Porridge
-Fawlty Towers
-Only Fools and Horses
-Sherlock
-Death in Paradise

[DorothyKV]

*_For me SHERLOCK was, is and always gonna be number 1 Benedict and Martin the best ever!!! And is, really, heartbreaking knowing that there's not gonna be another season!!! Much love from GREECE!!!_*

[TheHistoryPrincess]

Number 1 makes sense actually. Disappointed to not have seen one foot in the grave. That show was legendary. Kids at school yelling I DON'T BELEEEVE IT! 🤣🤣

[robin_verona]

Are You Being Served above Porridge, One Foot in the Grave and Yes Minister??

[ShalomAngel]

My pick as 1st pick isFaulty Towers. I can watch that show over & over.

[willhay]

Before they show the countdown, why do they show about 5 of the shows in the intro. Does my head in! They could surely do it differently!

[wojtek]

Line of duty
Eastenders some my favourite bbc show that wasn’t listed

[drewcampbell]

No Blue Planet, Life On Earth or other Attenborough epics?

No great dramas? Not even I Claudius, Threads, Boys From The Blackstuff, Cathy Come Home or The Singing Decective?

And No. 10? Are You Being Serious?

[brandongill]

You can't beat Only Fools and Horses.

[frankmoniz]

Oh, yes! It's gotta be Doctor Who all the way! The Vicar of Dibley, Keeping Up Appearances, Absolutely Fabulous, and French & Saunders are my absolute faves. Legends all.
