Following a year of stunning television, critics have voted for their favourite shows of 2017, the BBC’s groundbreaking Blue Planet II coming out top.
Blue Planet II was not only the critics’ favourite show of the year but also the most watched programme of 2017, beating Strictly Come Dancing to take the crown.
RadioTimes editor Mark Frith told The Guardian: “It’s been the most incredible 12 months for TV, but in the end Sir David Attenborough’s Blue Planet II won our critics poll by quite a margin.”
The poll was conducted by RadioTimes, who asked various UK critics for their favourite shows, the BBC’s output — also including Peter Kay’s Car Share, Detectorists, Doctor Foster, and Apple Tree Yard — dominating.
