The votes are in: we can now declare that Ernst Stavro Blofeld has been named the best James Bond villain of all time by readers of RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over on our Twitter<\/a> page, we\u2019ve been running a series of polls pitting the spy\u2019s greatest nemeses against each other in the colosseum of public opinion.<\/p>\n

In total, 28 baddies were in contention for the title (a shortlist compiled by the team at RadioTimes.com<\/strong>), which was whittled down to 14 by voters in seven initial group stages.<\/p>\n

Then came a second round, the semi-finals and the last showdown, which saw Blofeld go up against fellow 007 icon Jaws (who narrowly beat Goldfinger in the previous vote-off).<\/p>

It was a closely fought battle, but ultimately Blofeld claimed the win, with 56 per cent of the vote as opposed to the 44 per cent taken by Jaws.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s impressive to see things come down to the wire like this given that Jaws only ever appeared in two James Bond films<\/a> \u2013 The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker \u2013 as opposed to Blofeld\u2019s nine features (including the non-Eon flick Never Say Never Again and his unnamed appearance in the For Your Eyes Only pre-credits sequence).<\/p>\n
