Could that be classed as British TV ?

I think the most watched here is the 1966 World Cup Final followed by Diana's funeral.

I think anyone that had access to a TV in July 1969 in Britain watched it.

Reading

So many from only fools, personal favourite: from the jolly boys trip to Margate. Rodney on the phone to Cassandra defending his brother, then sees the coach blow up and Del's face like it's what normally happens...

Another classic from one foot in the grave, where he hires a skip, and is watching to stop people chucking a mattress in it. Wakes up the next morning and someone's chucked a car in there. In the backseat an old mattress! I don't believe it!

Without reading the thread the ones that stand out for me are:

Nasty Nick in BB1 because it was the first time we were able to see the such unscripted manipulation play out on our screens

Kat and Zoe Slater in Eastenders

The infamous Goldenballs ‘steal’ for similar reasons to the Nasty Nick episode

A random live TV jaw dropping moment for me personally was Usain Bolt false starting and getting dq’ed in the WC Finals before the Olympics

We've had televised coronations and royal weddings which I would argue are pretty damn iconic even if you're not in favor of the royal family.

For me personally though... the finale of Blackadder goes forth is about as iconic as it gets.
