The furious Who Whype spinning around us throws up a gem from the Radio Times. RT asked their readers to vote for their Coolest People on Telly and guess who came top:
- Doctor Who (David Tennant)
- Jack Bauer in 24 (Kiefer Sutherland)
- The Fonz in Happy Days (Henry Winkler)
- Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice (Colin Firth)
- Cat in Red Dwarf (Danny John-Jules)
- DCI Gene Hunt in Life On Mars (Philip Glenister)
- Dermot O’Leary
- Columbo (Peter Falk)
- Dylan in The Magic Roundabout
- Sawyer in Lost (Josh Holloway)
So here are two more lists from the writers of Freakytrigger*:
Top 5 things we know about the chuckleheads voting in Radio Times polls
- They are all sexualists on a par with the writers of the Observer Women Monthly Magazine
- They believe that Cat in Red Dwarf is cool. Cat is not even the coolest character in Red Dwarf. Red Dwarf ffs.
- They believe barking ‘It’s our only chance’ into a cell phone while torturing your relatives and breaking into embassies is cool**
- They have never watched an episode of Happy Days
- They are about one place above the numbskulls voting in Teletext polls.
Redressing the key point of sexualism…
