A new poll in the latest SFX magazine has been published to find readers' Top 100 Sci-Fi Icons of the 21st Century. The results include 10 characters from the Whoniverse/Torchwood, and the highlights are as follows:
- 85 - Martha Jones
- 82 - Rose Tyler
- 71 - Rory Williams
- 52 - Donna Noble
- 44 - Gwen Cooper
- 41 - Amy Pond
- 27 - River Song
- 5 - Ianto Jones
- 3 - Jack Harkness
- 2 - The Doctor
Many 'icons' come from brilliant BBC shows like Being Human, and Life On Mars, and that other giant of British culure, Harry Potter took the No. 7 slot. The highest placed American character was Buffy Summers, at No. 4. Obviously, as a Whovian I'm biased, but I was stunned to see that the No. 1 position is taken by Mal Reynolds of Firefly! At least Sheldon Cooper would be pleased.
