As the series went on it focused more on their eclectic group of friends and relatives, particularly the sort-of-but-not-really relationship between Smithy (Corden) and Nessa (Jones).<\/p>\n<p>It starred Mathew Horne, Joanna Page, Corden, Jones, Alison Steadman, Larry Lamb, Rob Brydon and Melanie Walters, all in iconic roles, and has proved to a series we return to time and again.<\/p>\n<p>The show gave us so many legendary moments, phrases and characters that it\u2019s almost impossible to whittle it down. However, the <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/&quot;\">RadioTimes.com<\/a> team has given it a go, and put together a shortlist of our top 15 for you to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>These range from the hilarious (\u201cyou\u2019re eating ham, pam\u201d), to the shocking (Nessa proposing to Smithy) to the downright iconic (chicken bhuna, lamb bhuna, prawn bhuna, mushroom\u2026 you know the rest).<\/p>\n<p>Other moments we\u2019ve chosen include Doris admitting she\u2019s \u201cabsolutely t***ted\u201d at 10 in the morning, Mick\u2019s starring role on BBC News and Smithy\u2019s insistence that he be given \u201ctwo <em>actual<\/em> portions\u201d of chips.<\/p>\n<p>From our selection <strong>you can pick your<\/strong> <strong>three favourites<\/strong>, then celebrate with a nice \u201cpint of wine\u201d (although that\u2019s certainly not advised).<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--full=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\"
