Virgin Media Presents... the TV Personality Of 2015

In the number one spot is this year's breakout star, Amy Schumer.

She took our screens by storm with her hilarious, self-deprecating sketch show Inside Amy Schumer, rocked her hosting gig at the MTV Movie awards and has been nominated for a Golden Globe in her first film lead as party-girl Amy in Trainwreck. It's safe to say that 2015 has been Amy's year!

Watch Trainwreck now on Virgin Movies. Cert 15. Then add Inside Amy Schumer to your WishList®, so you don't miss it when it returns to Comedy Central/HD (CH 132/181) this January.

With her exquisite bakes and exceptional facial expressions, Nadiya was rightfully crowned this year’s Great British Bake Off champ. Her snake bread basket will go down in the history (recipe) books.

Watch The Great British Bake Off Christmas Masterclass, 17 December, 9pm, BBC Two/HD (CH 102/162). Also available after broadcast in BBC iPlayer in Catch Up TV.

Tennant reminded us just how versatile he is this year. He started off as beaten-down detective Alec Hardy in the twisting Broadchurch, before unleashing his evil side as charming sociopath Kilgrave in Netflix’s Marvel's Jessica Jones.

Watch the entire first series of Jessica Jones on Netflix and then go travel back in time with Doctor Who series 1-7 on Netflix.

How we've missed that chin! Bruce Campbell and his chainsaw made a welcome return to screens this year in Ash Vs Evil Dead, the TV spin-off of cult 80s film franchise The Evil Dead – and you can watch the series exclusively on Virgin Media!

Watch Ash Vs Evil Dead in TV On Demand > Collections > Ash Vs Evil Dead. Then revisit the original Evil Dead trilogy plus the 2013 remake on Virgin Movies now.

She’s the most famous face in a navy jacket and red hat since Paddington Bear. This year, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was given a good shake when the first of its two leading ladies hit FOX. Atwell’s superb Captain America spin-off saw Agent Peggy Carter finally take centre stage.

Watch Atwell now as Agent Carter in Avengers: Age Of Ultron, on Virgin Movies. Cert 12. Then add Marvel’s Agent Carter to your WishList®, so you catch the new series when it starts on 24 January on FOX/HD (CH 157/199).

It was hard to open your curtains this year without seeing a picture of Turner’s washboard abs. But there’s more to the Irish Poldark star than his physique. Set after the American Revolutionary War, the series has sparked something of a period drama revolution.

Watch Turner this Boxing Day in Agatha Christie drama And Then There Were None on BBC One/HD (CH 101/108). Then add Poldark to your WishList®, so you don't miss the second series when it returns to next year.

Jones kicked off the year on a high in the BAFTA-winning Detectorists, and followed with spectacular performances in US crime hit Wayward Pines and BBC drama Capital. He even popped up in Marvel’s Agent Carter – talk about a busy year!

With Dad’s Army and Alice Through The Looking Glass hitting cinemas next year, he shows no signs of slowing down.

Catch the whole of Capital on BBC iPlayer in Catch Up TV. Then sit down to the series 1 Box Set of Wayward Pines in TV On Demand > Collections > The US Of Awesome.

Who knew that behind her poker face, Lady Gaga was such a masterful thesp? She's stolen every scene as glampire The Countess in American Horror Story: Hotel and picked up a Golden Globe nomination along the way. Applause all round.

Watch American Horror Story: Hotel, Tuesdays, 10pm, FOX/HD (CH 157/199). Also available for thirty days on FOX in TV On Demand.

We all continued to be hooked on apocalyptic drama The Walking Dead this year, largely because of hero/all-round-great-guy Morgan. You’re in safe hands with this one.

While you wait for his return in The Walking Dead this February on FOX/HD (CH 167/199), check out another powerhouse performance from James in Line Of Duty on Netflix now.

Doctor Foster was this year’s surprise smash hit. Jones already has a legion of fans thanks to Scott & Bailey, but her turn as a woman scorned allowed her to deliver a career-defining role. Basically, don't mess with her.

Doctor Foster returns next year. Add Jones and the show to your WishList® so you don't miss a single thrilling minute.

The nation’s grandfather is on the cusp of turning 90, but that’s not stopped him making some of the finest nature documentaries on TV. Even when faced with the most dangerous creatures on the planet, his dulcet tones keep us feeling safe.

Oh and did we mention you can explore more of the natural world with some of Attenborough's greatest hits including Frozen Planet and Life on Netflix now?

We’ve seen a more sensitive side to Miss Piggy this year. She’s split from Kermit, and welcomed us into her daily life in the Muppets behind-the-scenes series. We’re still holding a candle for our favourite cross-species couple.

Watch The Muppets on Mondays, 8pm, Sky1/HD (CH 110/109). Also available after broadcast in Sky On Demand.

It's been a big year for Baynton. Yonderland, the madcap puppet comedy that he co-created, co-wrote and co-starred in entertained everyone who watched. Then he went all Lindsay Lohan on us – in a good way – playing a set of estranged twins in doomsday dramedy You, Me And The Apocalypse. Two for the price of one. In a cast packed with stars, he stole the show.

Missed the final episode of You, Me And The Apocalypse? Find it TV On Demand > By Channel > Sky1 now. Then sit down to series 1 of The Wrong Mans on Netflix.

Evans is 2015’s comeback king. He's well and truly back on form with the return of TFI Friday to Channel 4 and the announcement of his Top Gear gig.

Everything Mr Whishaw has touched this year has turned to gold, as he delivered standout performances in both TV and film.

Catch up on London Spy on BBC iPlayer in Catch Up TV now.

If you’ve been enjoying a US drama import of late, chances are it’s one of Noxon’s creations. Girlfriends’ Guide To Divorce, Code Black and UnREAL are all hers. (Buffy, Prison Break, Glee also feature in her back catalogue). Outstanding.

Fred is the First Dates restaurant Maître d'. But he’s so much more than that. He’s a love guru, a counsellor and a 21st century bard. With wise words such as: “A date can be a life-changing moment, it can change your life forever”, you can’t help but want to stroke his beard.

Watch First Dates on Thursdays, 9pm, Channel 4/HD (CH 104/ 142). Also available after broadcast in All 4 in Catch Up TV.

Narcos is the Netflix show everyone’s been talking about this year, and not just because of the fantastic array of facial hair. Wagner Moura plays Pablo Escobar in Narcos with so much swagger, he makes Jay Z look like a wobbly baby deer. Oh, and he received a Golden Globe nomination too!

Watch Narcos now on Netflix.

Anyone who has the presence of mind to bring a pearl necklace to the Australian outback needs to be recognised. Lady Colin Campbell’s a writer, socialite and the improbable darling of this year’s jungle. She will be missed.
