DEL BOY'S THE BEST BAR NONE; Pub scene is TV's No1.
Byline: By Cara PageBRITAIN'S favourite TV pub scene is from Only Fools And Horses when Del Boy tries to look cool in a trendy wine bar and falls flat on his back.
Millions of viewers cried with laughter as David Jason's character nonchalantly leaned back against the bar, not realising the hatch was up, and disappeared from view.
Trigger, played by Roger Lloyd-Pack, was left looking around for him.
In second place in a poll of 1000 people came the Christmas showdown in EastEnders' Queen Vic when landlord Dirty Den Watts served divorce papers on his wife Angie.
Third favourite was the scene which made viewers cringe in The Office.
David Brent, played by Ricky Gervais, took his new Swindon team to the pub to get to know them but they all sat round the table hardly saying anything.
In the survey of the best drama and comedy set in boozers, another top moment was in Coronation Street when Shelley, played by Sally Lindsay, punched bigamist Peter Baldwin, actor Chris Gascoine, in the Rovers.
The poll by Big D Nuts was to help promote National Pub Week next week.
Men Behaving Badly, Emmerdale and Phoenix Nights are all in the top 10 scenes.
And just making that list is the final episode of Cold Feet when Rachel's ashes are cleaned up by a barmaid.
