Forget the planet-hopping, spaceships and aliens, it’s the sultry space sirens that can really make or break a sci-fi TV series.

So what better way to kill a couple of hours than to scan the internet looking for pictures of them? We love our jobs, really. Any excuse to look at more beautiful women.

Enjoy.

26. Jane Badler (Diana)
TV Series: V

Dirty Diana brings back some nice memories. Has there ever been a sexier reptile? Imagine what she could do with that mouth of hers.

25. Erin Gray (Col Wilma Deering)
TV series: Buck Rogers

Our second favourite Wilma in a TV series.

24. Katee Sackoff (Starbuck)
TV series: Battlestar Galactica

The best-looking bloke/woman in the universe. Gets her kit off a lot too.

23. Summer Glau (Cameron Phillips and River Tam)
Notable TV programmes: Firefly and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Whether she’s playing an ass-kicking robot or an, errr, ass-kicking teenage prodigy, Summer certainly gets us all hot under the collar.

22. Nichelle Nichols (Uhura)
TV series: Star Trek (Original series)

One of the original space sirens and still one of the best. The dirty minx.

21. Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi)
TV series: Star Trek: The Next Generation

English beauty Sirtis once admitted that her character in Next Generation slept around so much she was called ’space whore’ by her co-actors. Gets her into our list, that’s for sure.

20. Ali Larter (Niki Sanders)
TV series: Heroes

Sexy as hell and she certainly has a wild side to her.

19. Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully)
TV series: X-Files

OK, we had to put her in. It just would not seem right, otherwise.

18. Terry Farrell (Jadzia Dax)
TV Series: Deep Space Nine

Not sure about the weird acne, but we certainly would not kick out of bed.

17. Famke Janssen (Kamala)
TV series: Star Trek: Next Generation

Yes, she really was in Next Generation, and yes, it was just an excuse to put her in.

16. Teri Hatcher (Lois Lane)
TV series: Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman

Lois Lane was never this sexy in the films.

15. Kristin Keruk (Lana Lang)
TV series: Smallville

Lois who?

14. Jennifer Garner (Sydney Bristow)
TV series: Alias

There is nothing quite as beautiful as seeing a leather-clad Jennifer Garner kick ass.

13. Jessica Alba (Max Guevara)
TV series: Dark Angel

Apart from maybe Jessica Alba doing the same.

12. Grace Park (Number Eight)
TV series: Battlestar Galactica

Sex on toast-er. Get it?

11. Christina Hendricks (Saffron)
TV series: Firefly

She’s probably better known for her role in the new hot show Mad Men, but she certainly made an impression as a seductress on Firefly.

10. Morena Baccarin (Inara Serra)
TV series: Firefly

Stars as a prostitute in Firefly. Worth every penny.

9. Xev Bellringer (Xenia Seeburg)
TV series: Lexx

This shower scene alone gets her on this list.

8. Eliza Dushku (Faith)
TV Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Is Buffy really sci-fi? Who cares? It’s just another excuse to get pictures of Faith and Buffy in.

7. Sarah-Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers)
TV series: Buffy The Vampire Slayer

See above.

6. Tricia Helfer (Number Six)
TV series: Battlestar Galactica

Six?!! We’d give her a 10. Or should that be one?

5. Evangeline Lilly (Kate Austen)
TV series: Lost

She is the only reason we are still watching Lost.

4. Lena Headey (Sarah Connor)
TV series: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

English rose who has blossomed in The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

3. T’Pol (Jolene Blalock)
TV series: Enterprise

Star Trek hottie who is never afraid to get her kit off.

2. Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine)
TV series: Star Trek Voyager

Bit of a dull personality, but who cares?

1. Hayden Panettiere (Claire Bennett)
TV series: Heroes

We’d like to get in her Panettieres. OK, bad joke, we know.

You! Follow hecklerspray on Twitter!

Nothing quite gets you through the dull talk about black holes and plasma shields than the sight of a sexy girl in a spacesuit.

Well, grab hold of your lightsabres because hecklerspray has combed the length and breadth of the galaxy to come up with the hottest girls ever to appear in a sci-fi movie or TV programme.

13. Dana Scully from X Files

The list would not be the same without her.

12. Charlize Theron – Aeon Flux in Aeon Flux

Ok, the film was a huge, steaming pile of turd, but she looked really hot.

11. Jessica Alba – Max Guevera in Dark Angel

Does Dark Angel count as sci-fi? Who cares! It’s Jessica Alba for God’s sake.

10. Natalie Portman – Queen Amidala in the Star Wars prequels

She is the only reason to see the Star Wars prequels.

9. Milla Jovovich – Leeloo in The Fifth Element

We’re not sure if it’s the orange dreadlocks, the dodgy accent or the incredible body, but we certainly enjoyed MIlla time.

8. Jeri Ryan – Seven Of Nine from Star Trek Voyager

There is a part of us that finds this a bit odd. She is half human and half cybernetic drone for crying out loud. But there’s something about a skin-tight grey jumpsuit and a metal eyebrow that really hits the mark. Seven of Nine? More like nine of out 10.

7. Ashley Judd – Robin Lefler in Star Trek Generation

Definitely the sexiest girl ever to appear on the Star Trek: Next Generation. Actually, that’s not that hard. Maybe we need a rethink.

6. Erin Gray – Wilma from Buck Rogers

Possibly a controversial choice, but we do not care. Put it this way, why else would you put up with that stupid, twatting robot? It’s like Lost now. We’ve almost come to hate the fact we’re still watching that heap of dung. But then we see Kate and everything seems okay again.

5. Grace Park from Battlestar Galactica

The second sexiest toaster in Battlestar Galactica.

4. Sigourney Weaver – Ripley in the Alien series

Now there is no doubt that Sigourney Weaver started to look a bit ropey by the end of the Alien franchise – just like the films! But there is something about a girl who can kick the shit out of bad ass, stomach-bursting aliens that really gets the old juices flowing. And let’s face it, you still would.

3. Number Six from Battlestar Galatica

Has a toaster ever looked that sexy?

2. Jane Fonda in Barbarella

It hardly counts as science fiction – more like one big sexual innuendo (maybe it should be called Carry on Up The Black Hole) – but the opening sequence alone makes her a must on this list.

1. Carrie Fisher – Princess Leia in Star Wars trilogy

For anyone who wants to argue, we have two words for you: gold bikini. This writer will never forget the day I went to see Return of the Jedi. I was a fresh-faced nine-year-old boy, but by the time I left, I was a man. Life was never quite the same after that.

Honourable mentions:
Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica
Carrie-Anne Moss in The Matrix trilogy
Morena Baccarin in Firefly
Monica Bellucci in The Matrix Revolutions
