Strangely, no room for Heil Honey, I'm Home on the worst list. You'd think that would have made it.

Where is Only Fools and Horses? Surely the best ever TV show?

This list seems ignorable. To make an all time best list and not include Monty Python? Aaaaaaaand include Allo Allo and Red Dwarf in worst shows is laughable.

According to those who wrote the list, they thought that Fawlty Towers was better than Monty Python. I don't think so personally, but then again, I'm not a big Fawlty Towers fan.

How can you have soaps in the 'Best' section!? The worst section could be way longer, with chefs, and dancing/skating celebrity shows in there.

Why on earth would Red Dwarf be in the Worst list?

I've never even met anyone who dislikes it...?

That list, like 99.9% of everything in music magazines, is a bunch of wank written by pretentious tossers who no doubt masturbate over Pete Doherty and the current crop of mediocre-at-best indie bands who all sound absolute f**king identical, and absolutely shit.

Therefore, its opinion is worth less than Harold Shipman's.

Surely the worst list should just be all the soaps ever and Bo' Selecta...

That's a very artistic arguement Aaron. I only hope they're not reading.

His relationship with Tintin was not like that!

That's what Captain Haddock was for.
