Who's guilty of this?
More than half of us have pretended to have watched TV shows we've never seen - to avoid being left out of conversations.
A Radio Times survey found Stranger Things, Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad are the most lied-about programmes.
52% of people who took part in the poll admitted telling fibs to friends and colleagues.
1,300 people took part in the research with 48% admitting that they didn’t embellish the truth about what they watched.
Here's a list of the top five shows people have lied about watching the most:
- Stranger Things (14%)
- Game of Thrones (10%)
- Breaking Bad (7%)
- The Crown (2%)
- Schitt’s Creek (1%)
Editorial Director at Radio Times, Tim Glanfield said:
"Our survey illustrates just how much we love talking about TV, however, it’s a surprise to see just how many of us are not completely honest about what we’ve seen.
"With so much choice in a truly golden age of TV it’s almost impossible to see everything, so don’t be afraid to admit you’ve never tuned in!"
