TV show Gillette World Sport was sold to more countries than any other British programme last year, according to a survey of UK TV exports. Gillette World Sport, which is billed as "the world's most popular show", was seen in 220 countries.

British TV companies made £534m from selling shows abroad in 2004 - up 6% on 2003, TV trade body Pact reported. Midsomer Murders, Pop Idol shows, Miss World and the Bafta Awards were among the other top exports, Pact said.
