And where's Angel?

It is a pretty good list though.

Aye, it is at that. And agree on Angel - good show. And talking of vampire shows, anybody seen True Blood? It's got a good pedigree.

For those interested, the top five shows at the moment are:

1) Top Gear - 14.8%

2) The Wire - 11.7%

3) Buffy the Vampire Slayer - 8.3%

4) The West Wing - 8.1%

5) QI - 7.8%

So according to this, QI is the greatest comedy series of the decade. I'd go with that. Pleased Still six days to go though.

Again - Top Gear?!

Are the people voting being ironic or something?

Show's the complete uselessness of such polls.

You're far far too kind on these trickster bastards, Ian!

2) The Wire - 10.6%

3) QI - 7.8%

4) Buffy the Vampire Slayer - 7.7%

5) The West Wing - 7.4%

Top Gear is a load of old shite.

Maybe so, but it's a popular load of old shite. It's just past 20%.

Band of brothers was immense and made Saving private ryan look like a cubs camping trip.

I presume We Are Klang missed the entry deadline?
They would have pissed it.

Boston Legal should be on the list.

Darn tooting.

For me the first Series of Deadwood.

The problem with these lists is there a lot of fine dramas from Channel Four and the BBC (the Deal or the Government Inspector) in the past decade that are really top quality but fallout of the consciousness very quickly because they are one-off pieces.

No, that'll be Citizen Smith. And it's 'Freedom For Tooting', Marc, honestly! Rolling eyes

How's Newsnight getting on?

Top Gear now has over 25% of the vote.
