A poll to find Britain’s favourite TV schedule of all time shows we would watch Morecambe Wise, Doctor Who and and Only Fools And Horses â€" and then Sir Trevor McDonald reading the news.
In its 90th anniversary special issue, the Radio Times reveals the results of their poll to create the ultimate night of British television.
The results spanning six decades of British broadcasting are dominated by comedians and two of the nation’s longest running programmes in Doctor Who and Blue Peter.
Almost 30,000 votes were cast by Radio Times readers in six categories to discover the nation’s favourite programmes and the results were:
Children’s: Blue Peter
Entertainment: The Morecambe Wise Show
Comedy: Only Fools And Horses
Drama: Doctor Who
Documentary: Around The World In 80 Days
News: Sir Trevor McDonald
Ben Preston, Radio Times Editor, said: “Our poll captured the imagination of our readers.
"Who wouldn’t be tempted to stay home for a golden night of British television?
"Everyone had their say in this poll and the great British public have spoken but am I the only person wondering how Wallace and Gromit and Fawlty Towers didn’t win a place in Radio Times Hall of Fame?â€
The ultimate evening in begins with a favourite for the younger members of the family: Blue Peter, now in its 55th year â€" earning 17% of the total votes for children’s programme.
Next up is comedy, and the clear winner was Only Fools And Horses.
John Sullivan’s saga of the Trotter clan that made “you plonker†and “luvverly jubberly†household phrases, received almost double the votes of its nearest rival - Fawlty Towers.
Doctor Who, now in its 50th year won the drama vote, with almost 10% of the total votes cast for the whole poll, running Sherlock into second place.
Comedy legends Morecambe Wise won the entertainment vote ahead of one of the nation’s other favourite comedy duos, The Two Ronnies.
While Strictly and I’m a Celebrity... made the top 5, there was no place of The X Factor.
The fantasy schedule continues with a documentary, Michael Palin, his first globetrotting journey, Around The World In 80 Days, which beat Sir David Attenborough’s Life on Earth by just 30 votes.
First broadcast in 1989, Palin managed to repeat Phileas Fogg’s challenge in 79 days and seven hours!
The final category was for the nation’s favourite newsreader, comfortably won by ITN’s Sir Trevor McDonald in a landslide, gaining almost as many votes as the next four nominees combined.
