If we’re honest, there’s a decent chance at least some of you stopped paying attention for at least some of the time we were writing about the 11th to 100th best TV shows of the last decade. We know we did – we typed the summaries of numbers 24 to 27 completely at random with our eyes closed, so here’s hoping it made some sort of sense. Anyway, in best Bruno Brookes fashion, before we enter the top ten we’re going to give you a rundown of the ninety shows not quite good enough to make what people who only speak in binary would call The Top 1,010.
