Solo: A Star Wars Story star, Phoebe Waller-Bridge has capped an incredible year by topping the annual RadioTimes.com’s Annual Power List, TV 100.
Waller-Bridge – who has worked on the script for upcoming James Bond film No Time To Die – pipped Line Of Duty actor Stephen Graham to the top spot.
Rylan Clark-Neal, who this year became co-presenter of Strictly spin-off It Takes Two, host of ITV2’s Supermarket Sweep reboot and will also host the BBC’s forthcoming Ready Steady Cook revival, was third, actor and producer Ashley Walters was fourth and BBC journalist Emily Maitlis, who interviewed Prince Andrew for Newsnight about his links to Jeffrey Epstein, was fifth.
The top 10 was dominated by female TV stars, with last year’s Strictly winner Stacey Dooley, new Strictly judge Motsi Mabuse, Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and Line Of Duty’s Vicky McClure all on the list.
RuPaul, who debuted the hugely successful UK version of Drag Race, completed the Top 10.
Charlotte Moore, the BBC’s director of content, said: “Phoebe is a phenomenal force of nature who has taken the world by storm with her breathtakingly original voice (creations Fleabag and Killing Eve).
“She’s an utterly unique writer and performer whose emotional honesty and mischievous wit constantly surprises and captures the zeitgeist, and leaves the audience only craving more.
“I can’t wait to see what she’s done to 007!”
