Which British villain is the most deliciously evil to ever grace our screens?
Britain produces baddies like nowhere else, from sneering aristocrats to chilling psychopaths. Rank these rotters from mildly menacing to pure nightmare fuel.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Hannibal Lecter
Anthony Hopkins turned a few minutes of screen time into cinema's most quoted monster. That fava beans line still ruins dinner parties.
B
Dolores Umbridge
Voldemort wanted to kill you, but Umbridge wanted to bureaucratically destroy you with a smile. Imelda Staunton created the villain we all actually know in real life.
C
Villanelle
Jodie Comer's accent-hopping killer made murder look like haute couture. Equal parts terrifying and weirdly aspirational.
D
Begbie
Robert Carlyle's Begbie is the bloke you cross the street to avoid. Pure, unfiltered Scottish menace with a pint glass in hand.
E
Tom Ripley
Whether played by Damon or Andrew Scott, this social-climbing killer makes you root for him against your better judgement. Posh evil at its finest.
