Top Gear: decade’s best TV show

Essential Sunday night fixture for petrolheads, Top Gear, has been voted show of the decade by Channel 4 viewers.

The show fought off tough competition from Doctor Who, The Office, The Simpsons and QI to top the chart for Channel 4′s The Greatest TV Shows of the Noughties.

The team appeared to be disbelief about their success, because its just them “c*cking” about.

Richard Hammond said: “I could never say what the reason is for Top Gear doing so well since we started it, but I think there’s always a sense that we’d still be doing it even if the cameras weren’t here and that makes it real.”

Which TV show do you think should have topped the poll? Let us know.
