Anyone watching this on BBC 2? Each week the viewers vote for an icon from each category. Looking at leaders tonight. Can vote for Churchill, Roosevelt, Thatcher (no idea how she made the list) and Mandela. Winners from each round then go on to a final. Quite interesting.

Don't know about leaders, but the final should be Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile. BBC icons the pair of them...

Operation Yew Tree should be an icon.
While Thatcher is not everyones cup of tea (to put it mildly), being the first female pm, 10 years and 3 general elections or whatever it was definitley makes her an icon.
...we’re always last on MoTD.

Without a doubt, Thatcher (spits) makes the list as she was certainly a leader to all the sociopathic, greedy, money collecting, I'm alright Jack, cretins that our genes have, as yet, failed to eradicate through evolution alone.
An icon to the destruction of society. A leader to all those who believe that all their successes and rewards are separate and independent of the scaffolding society provides. Those who have snipped away at society's safety nets and profited as they flogged those nets at the market.
We should have a statue erected of her, with fire torches blasting at her image, and a moat of raw sewage about her feet to remind people of the dangers and evil of greed.
In my opinion, like.

The Einstein must be fav for overall icon - he usually sweeps up, might watch that episode. Turing though seems to be increasingly well known nowadays - 20 years ago I doubt many people would even recognise the name. In 50 years when we're all plugged into the matrix 24/7 perhaps he, not Einstein, will be seen as the greatest scientist of the 20th.
FDR all day for greatest leader out of those four, but I doubt his legacy is appreciated as much over here.

Tesla might push them. He has also gained a lot of appreciation these days. Properly redirected from the thief of ideas and innovation that was Edison.

They make decent cider, so I would definitely say Thatcher is an icon !
