The survey of 2000 Freeview viewers also voted Downton Abbey as the top show launched in the period, with The Inbetweeners and Sherlock in second and third place. Also listed were The Apprentice and The X Factor, with Come Dine With Me in sixthplace , followed by Gavin & Stacey, Planet Earth and Dancing on Ice.
Catch up services were voted as the most popular technological development of recent years.
Ilse Howling, MD of Freeview, said: "From Downton to Dragon's Den, Sherlock to Shameless, the last ten years have been a golden era for TV viewers.

Doctor Who actor Matt Smith recently took part in an interview with Den Of Geek to promote the DVD release of Series 7 Part 1 of Doctor Who, during which he spoke briefly about David Tennant being the first Doctor that he watched.
He says:

You mention watching past multi-Doctor episodes; have you pretty well immersed yourself in the show’s history now?
Yeah! As soon as I got the job, I went through tonnes and tonnes - I got them to send me pretty much every episode that I could get my hands on. So I went through Troughton, Pertwee, Baker, a bit of Hartnell... So I’ve dipped in. I hate to say, I’ve never watched really any Colin Baker episodes.
My first Doctor, and I told him this, was David [Tennant]. I did it the wrong way round! I watched all of David’s stuff and all of Chris’s stuff, and then I went backwards... I was always aware of Doctor Who, but I didn’t grow up with it.

You can read the full interview with Matt over on Den Of Geek here.

David Morrisey has revealed to the press that he was asked to pretend he was set to replace David Tennant as the Doctor in Doctor Who. The Sun reports:
David Morrisey was lined up to star in the BBC show’s 2008 Christmas special at the same time the programme’s then-star David Tennant announced he intended to quit. Show boss Russell T Davies asked David if they could pretend he was set to replace Tennant as the Time Lord since the special was titled The Next Doctor. David was even banned from telling his family the truth – leaving his children wondering whether they would be forced to relocate to Wales, where the show is filmed. The role was eventually given to Matt Smith. David said: “It was nine months of my life that was hell. “Russell said to me, ‘You can’t tell anyone’. I said, ‘OK, but I can tell my kids?’ and he went, ‘No! They could tell someone in the playground’. So for nine months, my kids were like, ‘Are we moving to Cardiff?’”

David Tennant was amongst guests who attended Sandra Dickinson's Charity Cook Off at Pissaro in Chiswick last night. Sandra's husband Mark Osmond was competing against Bruce Robinson and Duncan Bannatyne to find out who could create the best pasta sauce.
Guests were the judges who tasted their food and then voted for the winner. With Duncan Bannatyne, pictured above with David, being crowned top Chef!
All proceeds from the evening are to be distributed to the winning chef's charity of choice. No charity was left empty handed as the money will be split based upon the votes received by each chef.
The charities the chef's were competing for were Mary's Meals, Action for Children and RNLI.
