Top 10 most watched TV shows of the decade
An Only Fools and Horses Christmas special has been named as Britain's most watched programme of the decade.BARB say more than 21 million viewers tuned in to 2001 show where the Trotters lose their fortune… so not even a good episode.
An episode of EastEnders where viewers found out who shot Phil Mitchell came in second with 20 million viewers, and a Coronation Street from 2003 came third.
Other shows in the Top 10 included Britain's Got Talent, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, The X Factor and I’m a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!
While that might paint a depressing picture of UK TV, if sporting events had been included, six of the Top 10 would have been England football matches. Is that better or worse?
