10 Most Quotable British TV Shows

10. All The Gameshows

Bit of a cheat first entry to kick things off but you could easily fill this list with a tonne of game-show catchphrases spanning decades. They just seem to be timeless, although this is likely due to the fact that they were designed this way by the creators of the show. After all, no game show is complete without a fantastic catchphrase for the presenter to shout at the camera. The Weakest Link is literally named after Anne Robinson's catchphrase!

Be it Who Wants To Be A Millionaire or The Chase, you're sure to hear a slew of different game show catchphrases throughout your life. There's a high chance you'll know and possibly even use some catchphrases without even having seen the show! As we continue to see more game shows through the years our game-show vocabulary is only going to grow.

This is only the first entry however as many of these television shows only have one quote that is used outside of the show by the public, unlike most of the other entries on the list. It's an easy entry for the list but one worth not ignoring! A personal favourite is "no likey? No lighty!" from Take Me Out, but the iconic "you're fired!" from the Apprentice has to be the most commonly heard.
