Viewers of popular BBC1 magazine programme, The One Show, have been voting for their most loved BBC shows of all time — and Doctor Who has done exceptionally well.
Yep, Doctor Who is in second place, just behind Only Fools and Horses!
It’s beaten strong competition from the likes of Strictly Come Dancing, Blue Peter, and Planet Earth. Sherlock, created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, is also in the Top 20.
Here’s the list in full:
- Only Fools and Horses
- Doctor Who
- Strictly Come Dancing
- Line of Duty
- Call the Midwife
- Gavin and Stacey
- Fawlty Towers
- Blackadder
- The Morecambe and Wise Show

The list ties into the BBC’s centenary celebrations; later on this year, there will be a Doctor Who special (Jodie Whittaker’s swansong, featuring the Thirteenth Doctor’s regeneration) tying into the institution’s 100th anniversary.
Presenter, Alex Jones said:
“It’s been a joy to look back and celebrate some classic TV shows from the BBC’s history as part of BBC 100. There’s been an absolutely huge response from our lovely viewers and though we couldn’t fit everything onto the list, our viewers have shown so much love for these classic shows that have connected with them across generations.”
Expect to hear a lot more about the BBC’s centenary all across 2022!
