When comic book heroes, Batman and Robin, were brought to the small-screen in the 1960's, they quickly captured the hearts of fans all over and became one of the most loved duos on TV. But now, Robin, played by Burt Ward, has fought of stiff competition, as easily as he fought hardcore criminals, to top the poll of "Best Sidekick" of all time.

Robin beat other contestants such as Baldrick from 'Blackadder' who came in second, Gromit the dog from 'Gromit and Wallace' who came in at fourth place and, Laurel from 'Laurel and Hardy' was voted the fifth best sidekick of all times, according to The Sun.

The vote for third favourite sidekick went to 'Only Fools and Horses' chief character, Del Boy's baby brother Rodney, played by actor Tony Lyndhurst.

British supersleuth detective, Sherlock Holmes' friend, Dr Watson, could only manage seventh spot, while Captain Kirk's friend, Dr Spock, of the hit TV serial 'Star Trek' came in at number eight.

Here is the list for the top ten best sidekicks in TV history.

1.Robin from 'Batman'

2.Baldrick from 'Blackadder'

3.Rodney from 'Del Boy'

4.Gromit from 'Wallace and Gromit'

5.Laurel from 'Laurel and Hardy'

6.Ernie Wise 'Eric Morecambe'

7.Dr Watson from 'Sherlock Holmes'

8.Spock from 'Captain Kirk'

9.Barney Rubble from 'Fred Flintstone'

10.Sideshow Bob from 'Krusty the Clown'(ANI)

Dierna note: Who voted this??? I didn't cuz I would have put Spock higher!

And since when was Spock on a tv show called Captain Kirk or Barney Rubble on one called Fred Flinstone? And why wasn't Gilligan put on that list?!

The first two are brilliant. My first thought was "Robin" and Baldrick is really awesome. Blackadder is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen on TV!
