Top Gear voted greatest show of decade

On being voted the greatest show of the decade, Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond commented: "I could never say what the reason is for Top Gear doing so well since we started it but I think there's always a sense that we'd still be doing it even if the cameras weren't here and that makes it real." And Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody said the honour of his ballad Chasing Cars being named the greatest song of the decade was "incredible". "It was written very quickly," he added. "I was down at my producer's house and he and I sat up late into the night with a couple of guitars and more than a couple of bottles of wine and wrote a bunch of stuff.

"We woke up the next day and most of [what was written] was awful but there was just this one." The entirety of the list of The Greatest TV Shows of the Noughties will be revealed at 21:00 GMT on Channel 4 on Sunday with The Greatest Songs of the Noughties to be unveiled at the same time on Monday.
