According to the BBC, a snippet of the Sex Pistols swearing during a live broadcast in 1976 has become a television archive's most requested clip.

The incident, which happened during an interview with Bill Grundy, topped requests received by FremantleMedia, which owns the Thames TV catalogue.

Clips of former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson running along the beach came second in the list.

Talent show winners Paul Potts, Leona Lewis and Will Young also featured.

Opera singer Potts, who won TV variety show Britain's Got Talent in 2007, comes third in the top ten with requests for his first performance on the programme.

Fourth most popular are Jack Regan's catchphrases "shut it" and "you're nicked" from police drama The Sweeney.

The moments when Leona Lewis won X Factor and Will Young took the Pop Idol crown made it into fifth and sixth places respectively.
