Your support makes all the difference.A Twitter thread of the most iconic British TV moments of 2020 has gone viral.
The list, posted by journalist Diyora Shadijanova, includes moments such as when a Mastermind contestant had no idea who Greta Thunberg was and guessed that the environmental activist in the question was called “Sharon”.
Thunberg later changed her name to “Sharon” on Twitter.
A TV presenter accidentally saying she had seen lots of “doggers” in the park, rather than “dogwalkers”, is also on the thread, along with a scene of “quite possibly the worst acting ever on Emmerdale”.
Videos of Joe Sugg fainting on Bake Off and “When Matt Hancock tried to cry but couldn't because he is a robot” make appearances, too.
At the time of writing, the thread has 5.8k likes.
Other moments on the list include scenes from I’m a Celebrity, The Masked Singer, The Chase and, of course, Come Dine with Me.
