Below is a list of the top British TG sitcoms. This list was determined using the results from a massive public poll conducted in 2011 by BBC2. Like pretty much any countdown voted for by the public, the results should discarded altogether as they were compiled by a room full of gender specialists with an ax to grind. For example, this particular poll seems to un-fairly favour shows of which no one had viewed. This summer we will be replacing this section with a series of new lists that will be plugged directly into our new voting system; which is only somewhat better than the previous system in that the gender specialists have been replaced with subscribers of TV Repartee. Please stay tuned!
