Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up Here, our TV experts Ally Ross, Clemmie Moodie, Steve Corbett, Rod Mcphee, Dulcie Pearce and Felicity Cross pick the greatest shows of the past 25 years that we know YOU love too. The Crown 2016-2023 25 The Crown brought together top writers, a massive budget and an elite cast Credit: Netflix CONTROVERSIAL, captivating, sophisticated and sensational, The Crown brought together top writers, a massive budget, an elite cast and lots of 'artistic licence'. Netflix reached some kind of zenith by being brave enough to make a drama about the royals that made us reassess the entire British establishment. RM The Other Side Of Jimmy Savile, 2012 25 The Other Side Of Jimmy Savile exploded the myth of the once-adored presenter Credit: PA:Press Association ARGUABLY one of the biggest landmark documentaries of the century, in 50 minutes this show exploded the myth of the once-adored presenter. It sparked a wider police probe revealing Savile to be a predatory paedophile whose decades of sex attacks were facilitated by him being one of the BBC's biggest stars. RM Peaky Blinders 2013-2022 Trailer for the first series of Peaky Blinders 25 Peaky Blinders blew audiences away and sparked its own cultural phenomenon Credit: Alamy WHEN this new breed of period drama arrived, it blew audiences away and sparked its own cultural phenomenon. From copycat shows to inspiring a generation of hipsters, the working class folk at the centre of this story about Brummie gangsters were smarter, sexier and better- dressed than any previous TV series had portrayed. RM The Graham Norton Show, 2007- 25 Graham Norton has created the defining chat show of the past 25 years Credit: BBC IT may lack the interrogation of Parkinson, but Graham Norton has created the defining chat show of the past 25 years. While rivals such as Jonathan Ross and Alan Carr struggled to land huge names, he's constantly packed his sofa with Hollywood A-listers while keeping some of the cheeky interview style that Brits expect. RM I'm A Celebrity . . . 2002- 25 I'm A Celebrity . . . has exposed many a star's unsavoury side Credit: Rex THE original fish-out-of-water reality show that has exposed many a celebrity's unsavoury side, catapulted underdogs to stardom and delivered endless laughs. Ant and Dec are at their finest, serving up brilliant gags and banter. And the series continues to evolve, with a recent trend for divisive political signings – plus a second All Stars run to come next year. FC Chernobyl, 2019 25 Chernobyl is one of the greatest TV dramas of the century Credit: HBO SOME objected to the sting in the tail at the end of this mini-series' breathtaking finale, when it was revealed that character Ulana Khomyuk didn't exist and was a box-ticking amalgamation of the scientists who campaigned for the truth about the disaster. But I thought Chernobyl more than earned the right-on indulgence. One of the greatest TV dramas of the century. AR Downton Abbey 2010-2015 25 Julian Fellowes breathed new life into the period drama with Downton Abbey Credit: Handout WRITER Julian Fellowes breathed new life into the period drama with this iconic show. He made stars out of a little-known cast, as well as hiring veteran Maggie Smith to play Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham. And he gently explored edgy themes without tainting the nostalgia and pomp we need in an upstairs-downstairs series. RM The Inbetweeners 2008-2010 25 The Inbetweeners is the ultimate coming-of-age comedy Credit: Channel 4 THE ultimate coming-of-age comedy, this was three seasons packed full of vulgar, smutty humour that every teenage boy could identify with. At a certain age, nothing is funnier than awkward teenage crushes, introductions to booze and laugh-out-loud schoolboy banter. Rude, crude and hilarious (don't watch with your nan). SC Happy Valley 2014-2023 25 Happy Valley is a quintessentially British masterpiece Credit: PA:Press Association LIFE in a small, West Yorkshire town must be very quiet. Wrong. Sarah Lancashire is the hugely relatable police sergeant Catherine Cawood, a dedicated and passionate cop with a mess of a home life as mum to a teenager – and also dealing with a crook (James Norton) that's too close to home. Sally Wainwright's drama is a quintessentially British masterpiece. SC Sherlock 2010-2017 25 This original take on legendary detective Sherlock Holmes brought the story bang into the modern world Credit: BBC BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH became a household name as the eponymous lead in this drama – one of the most cleverly scripted and directed ever. An original take on legendary detective Sherlock Holmes that brought the story bang into the modern world. He and Dr Watson (Martin Freeman) were a TV gold double act. A must-see for any British drama fan. SC Love Island 2015- 25 Love Island is the big daddy of dating shows IN 2015, ITV planted a group of fun and frisky Brits into a Majorcan villa with one aim – finding love. And so a whole new genre of TV was firmly established. Love Island, now hosted by Maya Jama, is the big daddy of dating shows, which has spawned copycats but remains on top today, with more record figures this summer. Ten years on, watching hot people bicker, bitch and, yes, bonk, remains just as thrilling. FC Britain's Got Talent 2007- 25 BGT could well bring the spirit of British entertainment to life for years to come Credit: ITV SHOWBUSINESS at its finest – and funniest. Granted, the ITV variety show has had its fair share of flops. But time and time again, Simon Cowell and the team have shaken up the format to win over a fresh generation of fans with a mix of slapstick acts, amazing singers and top dancers. BGT – also featuring regular judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon – could well bring the spirit of British entertainment to life for years to come. FC Clarkson's Farm 2021- 25 Jeremy Clarkson captivated millions of urban Brits with his honest take on the highs and lows of rural life Credit: PA WITH this documentary which is, at times, part comedy and part soap opera, Jeremy achieved the feat of captivating millions of urban Brits with his honest take on the highs and lows of rural life. Clarkson's Farm is a hitherto unseen look at the hardy members of our population who fight daily to survive the weather, farming red tape – and cattle that can castrate with a single kick. RM Blue Planet II 2017 25 Blue Planet II cut through the public consciousness like few others Credit: Handout SIR David Attenborough's nature shows have always pushed the boundaries. But this series in particular cut through the public consciousness like few others. It showed us how single-use plastics – a phrase most people had never heard before – were ruining our oceans. And it pushed the issue to the very top of the global agenda. RM Big Brother 2000- 25 Since its launch, BB has given us some of TV's most memorable moments Credit: check copyright THERE'S a reason the original reality TV experiment still airs to such acclaim – it is the best fly-on-the-wall concept out there. Another format which entirely changed the game and forged its own genre, Big Brother's success relies on each series' cast and the tricks producers use to strip them bare. Since its launch, BB has given us some of TV's most memorable moments. FC Bodygaurd, 2018 25 Jed Mercurio gave us a whip-smart thriller packed full of sex, guns, spies and politics Credit: Alamy LINE Of Duty creator Jed Mercurio shunned the modern drama rulebook, with dull, woke dictats, and gave us a whip-smart thriller packed full of sex, guns, spies and politics. With Keeley Hawes and Richard Madden delivering career-defining performances, Bodyguard had the nation on the edge of their seats. RM Gavin & Stacey 2007-2024 25 Gavin and Stacey's warm tales of friendship and family resonated with us all Credit: BBC STARTING life on BBC Three in 2007, this story of long-distance love between an Essex boy and a Welsh girl went from hidden gem to national treasure. Subsequently shown on BBC One, there were three series and three Christmas specials, written by show stars James Corden (Smithy) and Ruth Jones (Nessa). The warm tales of friendship and family resonated with us and made, 'Oh' funny for all time. DP Strictly Come Dancing 2004- 25 Strictly manages to bring together multiple generations across the country Credit: BBC FEW TV shows these days can bring together multiple generations across the country – but Strictly still manages it. With 22 series under its glittery belt, the dance contest has been entertaining us from September to Christmas since 2004. It's made house-hold names of the most minor celebs and has had us gasping, weeping and waltzing for more than two decades. DP Line Of Duty 2012-2021 25 Jed Mercurio's series is a crime thriller masterpiece Credit: Alamy A GRIPPING plot, stellar acting and scream-at-your-telly shocks made Jed Mercurio's series about police anti-corruption unit AC-12 an adrenaline hit. Never shying away from violence, or killing off a lead character in dramatic style, its fast and ferocious pace – mixed with incredibly clever twists – make it a crime thriller masterpiece. DP Top Gear 2002-2022 25 Top Gear's glory days under Clarkson, Hammond and May produced some of TV's finest moments Credit: PA THE Jaguar of motoring shows, it always delivered and kept devoted fans in fifth gear for years. The glory days under Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, from 2002 to 2015, produced some of TV's finest moments – be it banter in the studio or epic challenges. A tour de force in broadcasting that successors could never live up to. FC Taskmaster 2015- 25 Taskmaster is comedy in its purest form Credit: Simon Webb / Channel 4 IF Have I Got News For You relies on pithy barbs, then Taskmaster's beauty lies in its innocence. Hosted by Greg Davies and Alex Horne, it's comedy in its purest form, with a group of funny people competing in nonsensical challenges. No politics, no edgy humour or upset – just off-the-cuff gags and mayhem. It's been a great launchpad for up-and-coming comedians. FC X Factor 2004-2018 25 X Factor created huge stars including One Direction, Little Mix and James Arthur Credit: Rex Features THE contest that put all other singing shows in the shade. At its peak, Simon Cowell's talent-seeking series united families around TVs, and fans at battle buses, as finalists drummed up votes. And it created huge stars including One Direction, Little Mix and James Arthur. A real one-of-a-kind show. CM The Chase 2009- 25 The Chase is our top quiz of the century among a thriving pack BRADLEY WALSH's quiz show is among TV's most watched. Its simple premise – to 'outrun' a professional quizzer and reach a prize pot – is fun to play along with at home. But those 'Chasers' are the real draw, with their distinct characters and jaw-dropping knowledge. That's why The Chase is our top quiz of the century among a thriving pack. FC The Traitors 2022- 25 The Traitors is thrilling and dastardly gameplay combined with human hope, joy and savagery Credit: PA JUST when we despaired there would never be any new ideas on television, along came Claudia Winkleman and The Traitors. Thrilling and dastardly gameplay combined with human hope, joy and savagery, made the BBC show irresistible viewing and united friends and family to watch TV 'live'. Another format that's been copied, but The Traitors is still best in class. FC The Office 2001-2003 25 David Brent's dancing gave us one of the most hilarious, hellish-to-watch comedy scenes of all time Credit: Handout TV's first 'mockumentary' had us biting our toenails in cringe by the second series – because we'd gnawed through every fingernail during the first. Ricky Gervais' David Brent is the office boss we all secretly fear being. He's the ultimate awkward character whose dancing gave us one of the most hilarious, hellish-to-watch comedy scenes of all time. SC

Amanda Holden supporting Alesha Dixon on lavish getaway after her 'split'
Britain's Got Talent stars Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon were bouncing around the Greek seas on a fun-fuelled motorboat trip as they soaked up some continental sunshine Alesha Dixon was able to lean on a good friend and fellow Britain's Got Talent star Amanda Holden as they enjoyed a girls' trip to the sun amid the singer's ongoing divorce. Last year it was revealed that 46-year-old Alesha was set to be divorced for a second time after the collapse of her marriage to dancer Azuka Ononye. But fellow TV star Amanda, 54, proved she is a friend that everyone can dream of as she helped lift her fellow BGT star's spirits with a trip to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island. On Saturday, the former Wild at Heart actress shared social media content showing her and Alesha having the time of their lives. The talent show judges have been sunning themselves in Corfu, where it is believed Amanda has reunited with interior design show co-star Alan Carr for the next instalment of their surprise hit renovation series, Amanda and Alan's Greek Job. Photos and a brief video clip showed Amanda and Alesha enjoying a motorboat trip across the waves. And further snaps showed the pair posing in striking bikinis. In a caption alongside the content, Amanda wrote: "Loved having this one @aleshaofficial and her beautiful family with me and the girls for a few days of sunshine in #Corfu." And the feeling was mutual - as Alesha reacted to the news by sharing a short message, declaring: "Love you" alongside a heart emoji. Alesha is said to have split from her husband last year. The Mis-teeq star fell for backing dancer Azuka, 44, after first meeting in 2006 and they had enjoyed a love-fuelled relationship together. They welcomed two children during their time together: daughters Azura, 11, and Anaya, who turns six this month. Reports emerged in November last year, however, that Alesha and Azuka had called time on their romance after almost two decades. It marks the end of a second marriage for Alesha who was previously married to So Solid Crew star MC Harvey. The Scandalous singer and the They Don't Know rapper, whose real name is Michael Harvey Jr, 46, were declared husband and wife in 2005 - but divorced the following year. In April this year it was reported Alesha and Azuka made a last ditch attempt to try and save their marriage. A source told the Sun at the time: "They went through a really rocky patch and decided to call it a day. It had been difficult for a long time, and Alesha just couldn't see a way forward. AZ even moved out to a hotel for a while, despite the fact that they were co-parenting. "But there is still a huge amount of feeling between them. They've been together for 12 years and have two beautiful children. So they have decided to give it one last try. "They both desperately want to be a family again and are going to do all it takes to make it work. But Alesha's friends aren't convinced it will last. Ultimately, none of their problems have been fixed, so it's going to be tough." Alesha previously discussed her marriage to Azuka on a TV talk show, explaining: "I was kind of playing hard to get for about a year," the star confessed. "And then I had the foot operation and I couldn't walk and he was literally sleeping on the floor looking after me every day. I was just looking at him thinking, 'That is for better or for worse isn't it.' I looked a state, he was sleeping on the floor because I was on the couch, I couldn't even get up the stairs. If he can carry me to the toilet then he's a keeper." Alesha later sweetly admitted she didn't see herself having children until she met her husband. Speaking on their relationship on Giovanna Fletcher's podcast, she shared: "He was the first person that I'd met, that I knew that we could have children together because of our values, our morals, our thinking aligned… "The thought of having children with someone who could do something toxic or show them something toxic that I saw as a child frightened me more than anything in the world."
