Freeview Reveals Most Talked About TV Moments of 2019
TV is a media form that more than any other, and on which anyone can join in the discussion. And 2019 gave us plenty to talk about.
Using social media insights, the UK's most popular TV platform, Freeview, has rounded up the TV moments that truly engaged the public this year:
Who could forget the drama that unravelled after this year's Casa Amor stint? Particularly, Amy delivering
Love Island's most iconic line to Curtis; "I was coming back here to tell you I loved you".
Series 5 of Line of Duty gripped the nation, but it was the final episode that got everyone talking, and in particular the perhaps unintentional, but very powerful, synchronised sitting between DI Kate Fleming and DS Steve Arnott.
There was a Twitter storm when Simon Cowell finally showed us his softer side and reached to give Kojo the comedian the once-in-a-season Golden Buzzer.
If there was one woman who stole the TV limelight this year, it was The GC. While she had plenty of eventful moments in 2019, the one which racked up plenty of Tweets was of course her big fall.
The fourth moment on the list takes us back to the first day of 2019, and Luther's return to our screen. The moment that people couldn't forget? That terrifying night bus murder scene.
This year's I'm a Celebrity was packed full of memorable moments, however Caitlyn's self-confidence as she took her first bikini Jungle shower really got fans talking, as they flooded to Twitter to share their praise and support.
TV blunder of the year award goes to Craig Revel Horwood , who mentioned he was distracted by
Anton Du Beke's fake teeth during an
Austin Powers dance. The problem? The teeth were actually his real teeth, which made for some seriously awkward viewing.
2019 marked the year Alan Partridge returned to our screens after a 20-year hiatus, and fans, old and new, took to social media to declare their love for the legendary comic character - particularly his hilarious routine on how to use a train toilet.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge had plenty to be proud of in 2019, but the heart-warming #HotPriest speech in the season 2 finale was the scene that sent fans wild.
It's not unusual for someone to crumble under the pressure in the Bake Off tent, but
James Acaster's legendary response to
Paul Hollywood's questioning became a meme sensation in minutes; "Started making it. Had a breakdown. Bon Appetit."
When ITV News showed David Attenborough's speech on climate change in parliament, thousands were moved by his powerful and emotional delivery, especially as he turned to the young audience and said: "It is their world that we're playing with. It is their future in our hands."
One scene from this series really opened the eyes of the nation. In the final scenes of the
Asia episode, Attenborough showed the devastating effects of deforestation on our planet, sparking online conversation with a call to action.
There's something strangely satisfying about seeing a man in a suit squeal, and that's exactly what we got when The Apprentice sent candidates to Thorpe Park, leaving the nation in stitches as
Ryan-Mark Parsons cried the whole way around.
The most Tweeted moment of the show goes to girl band, The Frock Destroyers, and their iconic performance to
which went straight to number 2 in the iTunes charts.
The final episode of Poldark was a showstopper, with scenery-chewing bad guy, George, unexpectedly saving the day.
