Doctor, Bond and Sherlock feature in Empire's new polls

James Bond has been pipped by Indiana Jones in Empire's new 100 Greatest Movie Characters.  The full Top 100, voted by their readers, features in the latest magazine.  Here is the Top 10:

 

1. Indiana Jones               

2. James Bond3. Han Solo (Star Wars)

4. Batman

5. Ellen Ripley (Alien)

6. The Joker

7. John McClane (Die Hard)

8. Tyler Durden (Fight Club)

9. Darth Vader (Star Wars)

10. The Dude (The Big Lebowski)

It will be interesting to see which British characters made the Top 100.  Harry Potter and friends must feature prominently.  

They have also released a Top 10 TV Characters list featuring the Doctor and Sherlock:

1) Walter White (Breaking Bad)

2) Tyrion Lannister (Game Of Thrones)
3) Homer Simpson (The Simpsons)
4) The Doctor (Doctor Who)
5) Tony Soprano (The Sopranos)
6) Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock)
7) Buffy (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)
8) Jack Bauer (24) 9) Omar Little (The Wire)
10) Frank Underwood (House Of Cards) 

The two lists are heavily dominated by American males.   British cult TV characters such as Number Six from The Prisoner and John Steed from The Avengers are omitted, and if Homer Simpson can make the Top 10, it's a surprise there are no British TV comedy characters featured such as Alan Partridge, David Brent and Basil Fawlty.
