I didn't see this anyway but I wouldn't have voted for The Soporificanos. Am halfway through watching Our Friends in the North and that would definitely have scored highly with me. Casanova too, obviously. And there was a BBC2 series which I and I alone watched, and which was brilliant - In A Land Of Plenty. Bet that didn't feature.

Turns out that even if you're just Welsh by marriage, you'll buy into anti-Welsh conspiracy theories.

Our Friends?¢‚Ǩ¬¶ was in there. Casanova wasn't. In A Land Of Plenty wasn't in there either. None of my faves were in there either.

In fact, I'm pretty sure I saw it on OG News, but I'm buggered if I can find it.

Lists are always flawed but it does sound both interesting (for some of its selections) and alarming (for some of its errors and misses).

BTW was A Very British Coup in there? Sandbaggers? Can't believe that they missed off having any Quatermass...

(You're in good company, though. We've been guilty of the same misspelling in print before...)

Seriously, you have to pay me if you expect something proofread.
