The Best of Bad TV

This is a look back at some of the televisual lowlights of the 1980s, from Mick Fleetwod and Samantha Fox's disastrous attempt at hosting an awards ceremony to the birth of 'yoof' TV. Other cringeworthy classics include 'The Minipops', 'The Hitman and Her', perhaps the world's worst sitcom and the cranky presenting style of TV chef Keith Floyd.

The 1990s featured many opportunities for shocking television errors and a a few bad ideas including fledgling BSkyBʼs first attempt at a sitcom called ʻHeil Honey, Iʼm Homeʼ.

Talent shows, reality television and people famous for being famous were the huge trends during the early 21st century.
