Byline: JOE ROBERTS

SOAP fans have voted the Queen Vic the Best TV Boozer of All Time, with Alfie Moon Alfred William "Alfie" Moon was a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. He was played by Shane Richie. Personality
Alfie was a cheeky Cockney chappie who was good at having a laugh with his mates and dispensing advice to anyone who needed
 scooping the title of Greatest TV Barman.

Coronation Street Coronation Street is an award-winning British soap opera. It is the longest-running television soap opera in the United Kingdom, first broadcast on Friday, 9 December, 1960 in the Granada region of ITV.  blonde Bet Lynch was voted Best Barmaid in the survey of 2,000 pub goers by Blackthorn Cider.

Only Fools and Horses Only Fools and Horses is a British television sitcom, created and written by John Sullivan, and made and broadcast by the BBC. Seven series were originally broadcast in the UK between 1981 and 1991, with sporadic Christmas specials until 2003.  star Del Boy Trotter was named as the TV pub regular most people would like to see in their local - and Coronation Street troublemaker Les Battersby was the least desirable.

A spokesman for Blackthorn blackthorn or sloe, low, spreading, thorny bush or small tree (Prunus spinosa) of the plum genus of the family Rosaceae (rose family), having black bark, white flowers, and deep blue fruits, usually rather acrid and not much larger than  said: "EastEnders gets slated for being depressing, but it seems we would all prefer to join the Walford crowd for a drink."

The Queen Vic was voted Best Boozer ahead of the Rovers Return, with the Nags Head in the classic Only Fools And Horses third, Cheers Bar in US sitcom Cheers fourth and Emmerdale's Woolpack fifth.

Alfie Moon, played by former game show host Shane Ritchie, beat off EastEnders' notorious Dirty Den to land the title of Greatest TV Barman.

Mike from Only Fools and Horses was third, Sam Malone of Cheers was fourth and Coro- nation Street's Jack Duckworth was fifth.
