Chat shows have given us some of the greatest ever TV moments. Nobody can forget Grace Jones slapping Russell Harty, the Bee Gees storming off Clive Anderson's set, or Paul Merton's damning of Angus Deayton on Room 101.

Unmoved by dim reality TV starlets? Left cold by the incessant mewling and pouting of Hollyoaks waifs? Find that the power of suggestion is greater than "I am a goer"? Well, there are plenty of women on the telly who we (mainly) want for their minds.
Forget the bumfluffed boys of Hollyoaks with their dental veneers, boring gym regimes and utterly vacant personalities – some of us prefer men with brains, character and a twinkle in the eye.
