We have all watched A LOT of telly since the start of the 21st century. That means a hell of a lot of incredible and colourful characters.

We've had action heroes, crime sleuths, science geeks, period-drama Dowagers, mute racing drivers and at least one post-apocalyptic crossbow-wielding biker. All sorts.

But who is the greatest so far? We've picked a whopping 70 amazing fictional TV characters that have starred in series shown predominantly from 2000 onwards (so no Friends or Red Dwarf here) or rose to prominence after the millennium (so no Alan Partridge, who was already a star in the '90s). And we've also selected just one character from each show (sorry Jesse Pinkman!) because otherwise we'd be here all year.
