Smouldering small screen idols

David Tennant's Doctor Who and Anna Friel's Chuck in Pushing Daisies have been named TV's sexiest male and female characters.

A poll's found the Time Lord has nearly a quarter of viewers swooning in front of their screens, while one in five have the hots for Friel.

The recipe for sexiness in a television character apparently includes charisma, looking great and not playing by the rules.
