Two comedy shows narrated by David Tennant have been included in a new poll to determine the nation's favourte sitcom of the 21st Century to date. Twenty Twelve and W1A, created by John Morton and starring Hugh Bonneville and Jessica Hynes, are hilarious spoof fly-on-the-wall documentaries that poke fun at the labyrinthine management structures and ridiculous personas that too often populate the modern workplace. David's tongue-in-cheek voiceover is a notable feature of both series.
The poll of 40 sitcoms has been launched by Radio Times in conjunction with the BFI and also includes Extras, Peter Kay's Car Share, The IT Crowd, The Thick Of It and Friday Night Dinner. Polling runs until Thursday 11th August.
