It was no surprise to see new Doctor Who executive producer and writer Chris Chibnall make it onto the list. His appointment of Jodie Whittaker as the first female Doctor will go down in sci-fi TV history.
Broadchurch actress Olivia Colman takes the top spot on the countdown thanks to her tremendous talent - skills that have landed her the lead role of The Queen in Netflix drama The Crown when it returns to our screens.
