On C4 Tonight from 9:00 to 10:35pm

A celebration of the greatest TV of the past decade, drawn from a survey of leading TV critics and industry figures, and a YouGov public poll. As well as superlative drama series like The Wire and the breathtaking photography of Planet Earth, the Noughties saw the rise and fall of reality series such as Big Brother, The Apprentice and The X-Factor. Stars including David Tennant and Jeremy Clarkson debate whether this has been a golden age of entertainment or a cultural recession.

I wonder where Big Brother will be placed, if they have any sense it will be number 1.

EDIT:
01) Top Gear
02) The Apprentice
03) Doctor Who
04) Britains Got Talent
05) QI

Too many people against it for it to be number one despite being one of the most important shows of the decade, and most people reckon it's been jumping the shark since 2006, but it should definately place high.

It'll definitly make the chart, seeing as it's in the advert. I'd be happy/suprised if it made the top 10.

BB should be #1 or its a farce. The noughties have been defined through reality TV and z list celebrities. Big Brother started all of that in this decade and not only did it start the boom of reality TV, but it also defined how reality TV is approached. For example The Apprentice wasn't a trashy show at all, but it suddenly became popular when the BBC made it into a Big Brother-style show. And X Factor never really took off until 2007 when Simon started headline grabbing. From Popstars The Rivals right through to X Factor 3 it was about the same amount of people watching each variation. They've managed to double the audience since they took the new approach. Big Brother also started the spin off show, not just for reality TV but for the likes of awards shows and arguably dramas (e.g. Footballers Wives Extra Time).

Without BB we wouldn't have the z list celeb culture we have (whether that is a good or bad thing is open to dispute though). It was the BB housemates that were first on the cover of Heat, followed by other oxygen thieves like Katie Price and Kerry Katona etc. They probably wouldn't have got their TV documentaries had it not been for Big Brother. Thats kind of dying out now, at the same time the ratings for BB fell through the floor and Jade Goody dying, so its all kind of symbolic and a bit poignant really.

And then you can say it has tackled issues such as racism, class and mental health as well as showing appearances aren't everything (a bandwagon BGT has jumped on this year as though its something brand new even though Big Brother did it first). Its made the viewers a bit more broadminded and understanding I think (even if we still laugh at the freaks).

Then above all, it has been a very entertaining show with a very loyal following until the last year or so with a huge following online. I mean what other fanbases will get excited at a 2 second eye flash? I haven't seen an online fan base like this for any other show.

Even though noone watches it anymore, EVERYONE has had something to say about the show whether good or bad, and nobody can deny the impact its had on TV and popular culture. So anything short of number 1 is a joke.

#1 was already revealed as:

(Top Gear)

It was determined by industry experts and public polls, so it would never have reached #1.

Stu
27-12-2009, 03:46 PM
I know it's hugely popular but that's a riddiculous choice for number #1 because it's still a niche show for certain people with a certain interest.

What a joke.

Taking everything into account - Writing, producing, acting, ect, Lost easily wins. Sopranos, 24, The Shield, The wire and all them should be up there too. But I'm guessing it will be filled with all kinds of reality tv.

Thats what they think. It has a massive female following and people who have no idea about cars who like to think they do. Its more about the presenters in the same way X Factor is about the judges. I don't see how its the greatest show of the decade, it has done NOTHING for TV or culture and is practically identical to any other similar shows (Five air some).

Family Guy was one of the greatest shows of the ninties and probably made the list of a simmilar countdown ten years ago under the name 'The Simpsons'.

The thing that makes it great is it's setting. You can get away with anything because it is set in the future so you get so many comedy scenarios that would be impossible in other shows. And the interpretation of the future itself too is fantastic.

It isn't :tongue:

If it was the same show then it wouldn't be on BBC2 at all any more, plus it had two completely different production companies. And the Top Gear wasn't relaunched until after the first series of Fifth Gear so it could've returned in its original form on BBC2.

Five stole it rather than it moving

I disagree. It's far more political now and far better written. It's more known for it's intelligent satires now than it is for, say, eight year old's cursing or a piece of **** in a christmas hat. That's not saying crude humor is still there, but overall I think it's a far better show.

I do think it's getting a bit old now however. It seems like now it's ''we are the South Park creators, and here is what we don't like this week''.

And yeah, Chewy, Futurama was officialy saved. The movies have finished up and I believe the new series will air in America next June.

Shaun

The Simpsons is in a league of its own - it's pretty poor now, but the old episodes are excellent. Without it the other cartoon-sitcoms wouldn't exist.

I dont really like South Park anymore, since I lost touch with it when I was a kid xD and it does seem like weekly episodes are about the flavour of the week from what I hear

and excellent!

I agree, I was watching the first season episodes, the animation wasnt top notch, but the writing was, the family were relatable, now they're just charicatures (sp?) of what they once was

Stu

The Simpsons had it's peak with series 3-6. It's current standing depends if you are the type of person who judges based on recent memory or prefers to remember the old glory.

I think after the relaunch it turned into the Richard, Jeremy and James show with cars chucked in much in the way I said a few posts back how X Factor has turned into a show about the judges with some singing chucked in.

The Voice Over said 'And the programmes you have turned your backs on..'

Depends which half of the decade you are on about though? Corrie was strong for the first half with Richard Hillman and Mad Maya, but has been quite weak through the second half and vica versa with EE being stronger through the second half

EastEnders was very strong between 2000-2001. It had the Who Shot Phil storyline. Corrie was probably better in the next few years, but since 2007 I think EastEnders' been better. Oh well.

3m watch the show. 10m used to. BB is over after BB11. It has lost over 60% of its viewers.

I do still like the show but I'm aware how popular it is in the bigger picture, and thats not very. There won't be a BB12 in the near future.

Saturday highlights throughout BB7 were more watched than the BB10 final, does that not tell you something?
