Sci-Fi vote-off: Dr Who vs Ripley

Available for over a year

The BFI are having a vote-off for the nation's favourite Sci-Fi character. The favourites are the character of Ripley from the ALIEN series of films and Dr Who. BFI Sci-Fi season curator Laura Adams told Today's Sarah Montague: "We've had over 6500 votes." People have voted for "quite a few good old standard heroes, but some baddies as well." She said "Sci-Fi is quite female focused ...it's looking to the future and we hope the future is more equal." "We'll announce the final winner next Wednesday." First broadcast on Today programme 11 December 2014.
