Kate Charnham, Sarah Alexander and Ruth England: Three of the hottest upcoming presenters of 2000.

Big Brother: It may be over but this was still the best slice of TV in 2000

Corrie's Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) - The greatest sullen teen on the box. Comes complete with interesting Tee shirts.

Lee Boardman: Jez Quigley may be dead but keep your eye on this actor.

The Cell: For its visuals alone, this is one of the most stunning movies of the years. Sick as typhoid but utterly gobsmacking

Attachments: This Life's Tony Garnett comes up trumps again with a hi-tech drama that doesn't drown you in jargon

Dervla Kirwan

Lorraine Kelly: "Och, that's lovely".

Frances Barber: The finest thing to come out of Wolverhampton since Slade, Goldie and me:)

Heather Peace

Kathy Lloyd. Twelve years at the top and still better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

The Simpsons. Naturally.

Daphne from Scooby Doo

South Park.

Lorraine Kelly

Jessica Rabbit

Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough soundtrack.
