1. Only Fools and Horses

That's right, Only Fools and Horses has been voted Britain’s best loved sitcom.

The show that ran from 1981 to 2003 and featured the rogue-trading capers of Del Boy, Rodney and Uncle Albert as Trotter’s Independent Traders received the most votes.

Discussing the results Samsung spokesman Steve Mitchell has said: "World Television Day is a great time to look back on some of the great shows we have watched in 2017 but also reflect on some of our favourite series of all time.

"It’s great to see old classics, such as Only Fools & Horses, still entertaining the nation years after they were made."
