Outlander has often come up trumps in <strong>RadioTimes.com<\/strong>\u2019s various TV Champion tournaments before, and even after a few years away it\u2019s clear that the fans haven\u2019t lost their passion and dedication. Or voting power, more pertinently.<\/p>\n<p>This time around it managed to outpace other Sci-Fi and Fantasy shows including Stranger Things, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Loki, The Umbrella Academy and A Discovery of Witches to reach the final rounds, where it saw off cult Sky Sci-Fi The Lazarus Project before facing Doctor Who in the final.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\"
