The Grauniad is asking readers to vote for the best TV show of the decade.
There are some awfully good nominations therein, but in the end I picked The West Wing. I am somewhat surprised, then, to see that Top Gear currently has the lead.

To have only two programmes in double digits and the rest as 0.3% or under seem atypical. I'd of expected a much broader range of results, especially as the Guardian have already preselected 40 most popular programmes.
