The Greatest Songs and TV of the Noughties

Series 1 | Episode 1 | The Greatest TV Shows of the Noughties

James Corden

What was the greatest TV show in the last decade? The Greatest TV Shows of the Noughties counts down the 20 shows that represent the best of the decade.

In a decade apparently dominated by box-sets, will the number one show be The Wire perhaps? And where will Big Brother chart? Has Friends made some enemies? Will the Dragons be scorched by `Suralan Sugar¿? And which is the only soap to make it into the top 20?

From the rise of reality television to the rebirth of talent contests, and the sexing up of business shows, this programme reveals the trends and behind-the-scenes stories of the decade¿s TV.

Find out how a camera that starts recording before you press the button brought us the best of Planet Earth. Why does Kevin McCloud has nightmares about Top Gear? And what does Louis Walsh really think about that glass of water incident?

The Greatest TV Shows of the Noughties features some of the biggest names in television, from David Tennant to Jeremy Clarkson, giving us their views on what they think was hot and not from the past decade. Has this been a golden age of entertainment or an era of cultural recession? The Greatest TV Shows of the Noughties reveals all. Narrated by James Corden.
