Colin Firth's Darcy is simply the chest

So what's the most memorable moment in a British TV drama? Dirty Den divorcing Angie on EastEnders? Sherlock plunging to his death (or not)? Or what about the big Coronation Street tram crash? Wrong, wrong and wrong again. A UKTV survey (to mark the launch of its Drama channel) has voted Colin Firth's sopping wet shirt scene in Pride and Prejudice the most memorable TV drama moment, reports the Sun. Also making the top 10 were the Brookside lesbian kiss and Zammo injecting heroin in Grange Hill. No word yet on whether the list will make a future top 50 of PR wheezes to launch a new TV channel.
