Top 50 Best-loved British Sitcoms

Only Fools And Horses has been named as the nation’s favourite British sitcom in a poll conducted by Channel 4.

The network, which revealed a top 50 list in the two-part TV show Britain’s Best Loved Sitcoms, decided on the result from a poll of comedy fans conducted via their website.

Fawlty Towers was positioned in the #2 spot, whilst Blackadder, One Foot In The Grave and Porridge took up the other top 5 places.

This is not the first time that Only Fools And Horses has come out top of a major TV poll. A nationwide vote conducted by the BBC in 2004 for its Britain’s Best Sitcom series also named the programme as the nation’s favourite sitcom.
