IGN vote for greatest British Hero

For those interested there is a vote Currently on IGN for 'Greatest British Hero', if I was so inclined I think Holmes is the most deserving but as it stands none other than James Bond is some way in front.

Link to IGN here

imo somewhat ironic given the current approach to Bond has far more in tune with the generic American hero template, but I guess any port in a storm.

I was expecting Potter to lead the polls, but instead it's Bond. That gives me hope.

I voted for Bond.

Who cares about that snot nosed kid with personal issues who can't even get to first base with Hermonie!

Then there is that guy who spent his days in a phone booth! Can you say wimpy and awkward and anti-social?

Sherlock is a drug addict and an alcoholic; he ain't no hero, he belongs in the cuckoo ward.

Bond is the only real hero and real man here!!

A couple of Vodka Martinis, shaken not stirred, doesn't make him an alcoholic and a drug addict.

Sherlock Holmes was on drugs.

That's a historically known fact in the books.

Maybe you can argue that Bond is a Pussy addict or Pussy hound; I will give you that.

Benzedrine and nicotine are drugs.

Maybe "drug addict" is too strong a term for Bond, but he's no clean cut boy scout.

Bond has won this, it was just announced on the radio.

Benny Hill was the runner-up.
