The epic battle of the small screen is well and truly underway, with the first leg of RadioTimes.com’s Sci-Fi and Fantasy Champion concluded after a hectic initial round of voting. And with half our high-profile shows already eliminated, there’s everything to play for in tomorrow’s Quarter-Final.

After five hours of voting, eight shows remain. Our quarter-finalists are: Doctor Who, Outlander, A Discovery of Witches, Ms Marvel, The Umbrella Academy, The Lazarus Project, Loki and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Commiserations to the other shows!

But the competition doesn’t end there. Now, to keep your favourite in the running tomorrow, you’ll need to spread the word and get your fellow fans involved once more.

The Quarter-Final head-to-heads are as follows:

Loki v Obi-Wan Kenobi

Doctor Who v The Umbrella Academy

Outlander v A Discovery of Witches

Ms Marvel v The Lazarus Project
