This is what it says:
How brill is that?!?! ;D
EDIT: Here's the top 20, just in case you were wondering:
1 Red Dwarf
2 The X Files
3 Lost
4 Life On Mars
5 Buffy The Vampire Slayer
6 Star Trek: The Next Generation
7 Stargate SG-1
8 Star Trek
9 The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy
10 Quantum Leap
11 Heroes
12 Blake's 7
13 Twin Peaks
14 V
15 Torchwood
16 Babylon 5
17 The Prisoner
18 Battlestar Galactica
19 Thunderbirds
20 Lost In Space
No Farscape? And I wouldn't call Lost a sci-fi programme, tbh. Then again, I haven't seen it since it moved to Sky, so maybe I'm disillusioned, but whatever. I also think that Torchwood is poo, but we watch it anyway just so that we can go into school the next day and debate whether the latest episode has been the crappiest so far. And because John Barrowman is well fit.
This is what it says:
Cult comedy Red Dwarf has been voted the best sci-fi show of all time.
The space-set sitcom took top spot in a poll of 3,000 readers of the Radio Times.
The show, which starred ex-Coronation Street actor Craig Charles, ran on BBC Two for eight series and earned a global cult following.
The X-Files finished second, ahead of Lost, Life On Mars and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
The magazine had banned voters from choosing Doctor Who, claiming that it was “too obvious”.
Editor Gull Hudson said: “Seeing Life On Mars and Lost in the top 10 was no surprise - they are perfect examples of ’unreality TV’ which is becoming one of the defining trends of the Noughties.
“But Red Dwarf at number one? That did surprise us. It hasn’t even been on TV this century."
