So what were the top TV treats of 2004? Well, according to the Channel 4 show with a similar title, they were all Channel 4 shows. Almost. There were no C4 moments, but they just passed without commentary, unlike pain-stakingly unfunny, and not recalled by any of my TV-obsessed cronies, bits from Richard and Judy or other naff lifestyle or "comedy" programmes. Curiously, the best moments consisted of the last episodes of Friends, Frasier and Sex and the City - though surely these must have been the worst as it chimed the death-knell for the majority of 4’s schedule-padding import fodder. Big Brother was number two - though the massive scrap which ensnared disillusioned BB viewers was bizarrely not mentioned. Then we had Gillian McKeith, some swearing posh people, Shattered (which was watched by no one), Supernanny, Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares, Max and Paddy, Borat (Ali G’s even less funny counterpart)… Need I go on? Suffice to say, that very few of my TV treats got a look in - here’s hoping Five make a better stab of it sometime soon.
