Worst ever TV shows named

Most of us spend too much time watching dreadful television programmes. Now, the Radio Times reveals a "definitive" list of the 50 worst shows of all time.

The list is led by Keith Chegwin but Ross Kemp, Prince Edward and Loyd Grossman are all likely to be embarrassed.

Nude game show Naked Jungle featured hyperactive Cheggers leaping around a jungle set wearing nothing but a pith helmet.

Proving there's no accounting for public taste, Naked Jungle was also Channel Five's highest-rated entertainment programme of 2000, pulling in two million viewers.

The list has been compiled by TV expert John Naughton. He says: "The home-grown programmes I've picked here all represent moments when television went that extra mile to create something memorably rotten - whether it was an inspirationally-flawed concept, a supremely botched execution, or it suffered from an unusually irritating presenter."

His list contains some star names. Emma Thompson, French and Saunders and Sir Alastair Burnet are all named and shamed for low-grade television exploits.
