The usual suspects are at the top of a new poll to find the nation's favourite sitcom.

Only Fools and Horses was the winner of a poll of 2,000 adults by Samsung ahead of World Television Day. The classic show starring David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst beat Fawlty Towers into second place, followed by Blackadder in third.

The top five was rounded out with classic comedies Dad's Army and Father Ted.

Further down the list were old favourites such as Porridge and One Foot in the Grave alongside more contemporary offerings like The Inbetweeners and Mrs Brown's Boys.

Samsung spokesman Steve Mitchell said: 'World Television Day is a great time to look back on some of the great shows we have watched in 2017 but also reflect on some of our favourite series of all time.

'It's great to see old classics, such as Only Fools and Horses, still entertaining the nation years after they were made.'
