Only Fools and Horses was the most watched programme of this decade, according to The Guardian.
21.3 million viewers (74% of the available audience) watched the BBC One special in 2001, which aired on Christmas Day.
The festive episode, which starred David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst, followed the Trotter family as they tried to recoup their lost millions after a bad investment.
An explosive episode of EastEnders pulled just over 20 million viewers in April 2001 to finish second, while Coronation Street excited 19.4 million in an episode in February 2003, where the murderous Richard Hillman revealed his true nature to wife Gail.
In fourth place, this year's finale of Britain's Got Talent was watched by an average of 18.2 million viewers
