A new YouGov survey has revealed that the most popular sitcom in Britain was made in America,
Friends led the way in the poll, which was carried out in honour of the 50th anniversary of the first episode of Fawlty Towers, which also appeared in the top-ranked programmes.
Those taking part in the survey were simply asked to write the name of their favourite television sitcom, if they had one.
More than half of responders did and came up with 137 different answers to the question.
Here are the shows that were chosen by most people.

9. Dad's Army
"Don't tell him Pike!" The last episode of Dad's Army may have been broadcast in 1977, but it's still shown today and it remains a favourite. The show about a group of Home Guard during World War Two polled aound two per cent in the survey. | Contributed

12. The Office US
The American version of The Office, which replaced Ricky Gervais with Steve Carell, is the rare example of a remake that's just as successful, or even more successful, than the original. The UK audience still prefer the British one though - it got a third less of the vote, sitting at around two per cent. | Contributed
