The best telly show this decade?

Posted by Paul Regan at 3:44 pm on Monday December 28, 2009

If you happened to wander over to Channel 4 after the boys finished their adventures in Bolivia last night you might have noticed Top Gear picked up a little pat on the back – the best TV show of the, er, Noughties (noughts, surely?).

Quite amazing, really. Three blokes cocking about in cars the best telly show of the decade. As Jeremy said, where were the votes for Big Brother?

Turns out the best song of the decade was ‘Chasing Cars’ by Snow Patrol, so maybe there was a car consipiracy going on. Who knows.

So… was it the right choice? Did we really deserve to win it? And if not, who? Over to you…

    Brits don’t have Lost, do they? If not, then that’s your reason.

    Thanks be to an Interweb, as the 3 would have it, for finding me TG.

    This show couldnt have been picked for a better time. I just bought an 88 Suzuki Samurai and it should bee here within the next month. Offroading should be fun with the 4 wheel drive. Unlike James Samurai. Long live James!!

    Easily the best show EVER

    I watch re runs for fun, the missus hates me for it but SHE still loves TG.

    If the BBC stop making it, I will move to the moon!

    Keep up the good work chaps…

    After more than 600 comments, it is clear what people think. I wanted to join the crowed and to say how much I enjoy the show even here, in Israel.
    Thank you and please keep on with more seasons.

    Ban Religion – Preach TG!! Deserve to win hands down, well from a protaganistic, marginally hamfisted, and silightly on the wrong side of scared point of view…

    TG rocks,
    Keep it up!

    Always loved topgear – it first got me involved in cars when i was flicking through the channels and i stoped on BBC2 for a couple of mins – i was hocked since then and now i am even working on cars!

    A very well deserved win – well done to the top gear presenters – and everone behind the scences! Hope to see you on T.V. for many years to come!
