Base: 2,000 people were surveyed.
Notes: Sorry, no data on percentage breakdown of the vote. "It's really heartening to see how these stories, written so long ago, retain the power to captivate 21st century audiences," said Richard Kingsbury, channel head of UKTV Drama, which commissioned the study.
