Only Fools and Horses has been voted Britain’s best loved sitcom, taking a third of the votes.
The hit show featuring the rogue-trading capers of Del Boy, Rodney and Uncle Albert as Trotter’s Independent Traders ran from 1981 to 2003.
It beat the John Cleese classic Fawlty Towers into second place, with Blackadder taking third.

Dad’s Army, the 1970s favourite featuring Captain Mainwaring’s ragtag group of WW2 Home Guard volunteers, finished fourth.
Father Ted, along with his fellow hapless priests Dougal and Jack – and the embittered Mrs Doyle completed the top five, in the poll of 2,000 adults by Samsung ahead of World Television Day.
The Inbetweeners’ awkward adventures in their pursuit of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll beat Ronnie Barker’s short-lived 70s prison classic Porridge into sixth.
And Gavin and Stacey, which was created by James Cordon and Ruth Jones, came eighth.
Mrs Brown’s Boys, featuring Ireland’s favourite interfering ‘Mammy’ Agnes Brown, and 90s favourite The Vicar of Dibley – featuring Dawn French’s classic Liam Gallagher-loving Geraldine Granger completed the top ten.
Other sitcoms to feature in the top 20 include recently-revived cult space spoof Red Dwarf starring Craig Charles, and Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders’ Absolutely Fabulous.
The Office also made the list – as did David Mitchell and Robert Webb’s similarly cringe-worthy Peep Show.
Samsung spokesman Steve Mitchell said: ‘World Television Day is a great time to look back on some of the great shows we have watched in 2017 but also reflect on some of our favourite series of all time.
‘It’s great to see old classics, such as Only Fools and Horses, still entertaining the nation years after they were made.’
