Well predictable as it is for no 1 but Saturday Night Takeaway at number 2! You can guess what type of people made up the voting for this. Chavs rule again! lol

2nd Best programme in 50 years of ITV! Someone must be taking the piss!

So ITV controllers pull together a list of 50 ITV shows and then get the GBP to vote on them in order to get the final results.

So ITV, where are London's Burning, The Second Coming, The Last Train and ITN News at Ten amongst others.

Quite obvious that the order of the top 50 would be controversial but away from that, overall I thought it was a nicely put together programme and an entertaining way to spend 3 hours. Unlike similar shows on Channel 4, there were no comedians comparing everything to being on drugs.

Notice it was made by Yorkshire Television who seem to specialise in making archive programmes. It looked like it was filmed at The London Studios though.

Russ you owe me a pint I just spat the last one out whilst laughing at that! Laughing

I'm A Chav Celebrity Get Me Out Here & Footballers Chavs shouldn't even be in the Top 50. Saturday Night Takeaway should have been Top 20 but never that high up!. Great to see the Muppet Show in the Top 10 however!

No SMTV! Sorry Ant,Dec,Cat,James,H,Claire,Brian,Tess,Des,
Shavaughn and Stephen,i did try!

I think it was the way the voting was done. I think viewers should have voted for five in different catogeries on the website,which they picked,and whatever got the most votes ended up in Top 5's for Drama,Comedy,News,Entertainment and Kids.

And the voting would have stayed open till at least lunchtime today!

I cant belive that ant and dec were at number 2.
