THE 100 GREATEST TV TREATS OF 2002 1 - 16 17 - 34 35 - 50 51 - 64 65 - 76 1. Halle Berry's tears at the Oscars When the star of Monster's Ball stepped up to the podium at the Academy Awards she was overcome with emotion. Mind you, she had good reason - she was the first African-American to pick up the best actress award. 2. Pop Idol - The Final: Will v Gareth It might seem like a long time ago now but the battle between Will Young and Gareth Gates had us all on the edge of our seats back in January. 3. Footballers' Wives Kyle, Chardonnay and one of the most popular ITV dramas of 2002. The football floozies fought tooth and nail to keep their men and their lavish lifestyles in this Dallas for the 21st Century. And Chardonnay's pink meringue wedding dress was the icing on the cake... 4. Kylie's top (and bottom) performance at The Brits She wowed us all with her Blue Monday-esque performance of Can't Get You Out of My Head. And that's not all - in 2001 the celebrity style icon of the year was 'Beckham's Mohican'. This year it was 'Kylie's Bottom'. 5. The Boy Can't Help It Fascinating BBC documentary which told the moving story of people like John Davidson and their battle with Tourette Syndrome. Despite his condition, John has not lost his sense of humour - he admitted that his tics and involuntary shouting would have made it impossible to follow his childhood dream of being in the SAS. 6. Great Britain's women win the curling gold in the Winter Olympics Captain Rhona Martin and the all-Scottish team brushed their way to victory on the ice at Salt Lake City, and returned home to a heroes' welcome. 7. Sex and The City Still looking for love in every corner of Manhattan, Carrie and the girls shared more than brunch and fashion tips in this series which saw Samantha (almost) fall in love, Carrie reunited with the gorgeous Aidan, and a pair of Manolos ruined when Miranda gave birth... 8. Club Reps The show that put Faliraki on the map! From the sexual antics of Becky and Rachael to the bust-ups between Maz and her staff, this late-night series revealed the sizzling secrets of the Club 18-30 holiday. 9. Derren Brown - Mind Control 3 He might look like a cross between David Blaine and Dr Who but in this show Derren Brown demonstrated why he is Britain's leading psychological illusionist. Not only can he read minds he can even persuade bookmakers to pay out on losing tickets. 10. Commando Unmissable Channel Four documentary series in which World War Two veterans explained for the first time (many of them from their back gardens) how they became part of the best fighting regiment in the world. 11. The Robbie Williams documentary, Nobody Somebody Who can forget Robbie's candid film of his European tour? From the pre-show 'Elvis prayer' to getting pushed off stage by a crazed fan in Germany, Stoke-on-Trent's favourite son showed us what life's like as a gi-normous star. 12. Little Mo goes down in Eastenders The nation gasped in disbelief as little Mo Slater was found guilty of attempting to murder her hateful husband Trevor. Could meek and mild Mo survive the rigours of prison life? Would evil Trevor get his come-uppance? 13. The return of Auf Wiedersehen Pet Over 12m viewers tuned in for the return of Tyneside's very own Magnificent Seven. Not seen on our screens since 1986, the building site boys were back and better than ever, with a plan to sell Middlesbrough's Transporter Bridge. 14. Kim Cattrall discusses sex on Richard and Judy It was one of Richard and Judy's steamier outings when Sex And The City's Kim Cattrall and her husband appeared on the show to promote their book Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm. 15. The Book Group Channel Four's popular comedy about the strangest reading club you've ever met - an uptight American, a sportsman in a wheelchair and a bunch of bored footballers' wives share their literary loves at their weekly meetings in Glasgow. 16. England 1 Argentina 0 Office life came to a stand-still and the nation held its breath as David Beckham finally took revenge for the Hand of God by thundering a penalty into the Argentine net, securing one of the sweetest English victories ever at a World Cup. 1 - 16 17 - 34 35 - 50 51 - 64 65 - 76 |
