Most fascinating TV people of 2013? Read on!

Every year at this time Barbara Walters' "Most Fascinating" list arrives, and - on a vastly more modest scale - so does my list, of TVs most  fascinating....

  It's a modest little list, this list, but what it does offer - in my humble opinion - is a quick shout-out to a few who have done something genuinely interesting and not some who have just mastered the twerk...

 We also went to fifteen this  year, reasoning that ten is far too self-limiting. 

 15.  David Tennant: Almost absurdly brilliant Scottish actor who arrived center stage long ago ("Doctor Who") but we - OK, I - never paid all that close attention until recently, thanks to "Broadchurch."
