Stone's flash is most paused TV moment

Sharon Stone's brief flash in Basic Instinct has topped a poll of viewers' most paused moments.

The scene, in which the actress rapidly uncrosses and crosses her legs, took a fifth of the votes in the survey which asked people when they most used the function.

Free View Playback, a digital recording service, commissioned the poll for its launch.

Coming second was Sir Geoff Hurst's third goal in the 1966 World Cup Final, with 14 per cent, and third was the moment Del Boy fell through the bar in Only Fools and Horses, at 12 per cent.

Fourth, with 11 per cent, was Maradona's Hand of God goal against England in the 1986 World Cup while John Prescott punching a member of the public who egged him came fifth.
