In the last 12 years (ie since OFCOM's inception), these shows have attracted the most complaints:

 

1. Big Brother / Celebrity Big Brother (C4 & C5): 73,788

2. X Factor (ITV): 20,548

3. Jerry Springer The Opera (BBC2): 8,860

4. UKIP: The First 100 Days (C4): 6,187

5. Sky News: 6,056

6. EastEnders (BBC1): 3,782

7. Britain's Got Talent (ITV): 3,747

8. Coronation Street (ITV): 3,566

9. The Wright Stuff (C5): 2,788

10. Emmerdale (ITV): 2,531

 

No surprise on the leader, although 44,500 came from the Jade Goody/Shilpa Shetty race row.

Yeah, no particular surprises, certainly not for the #1! :lol:

 

I would have though Eastenders would be further ahead from Corrie though, given the sheer amount of complaints attracted from the baby swap storyline in 2011.

I thought Eastenders would be further ahead as well! Not surprised to see that UKIP show on there. It was bizarre to say the least!

I'm surprised I'm A Celebrity isn't here. Gino G'Acampo & the rat incident I thought brought about thousands.

i'm just surprised emmerdale got so many complaints

 

never knew..
