Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Being a minion is the top fantasy job which Britons secretly hanker after.

The cartoon blobs who found fame in the Despicable Me film franchise took the top spot in a poll of the Top 10 fantasy jobs conducted by vouchercloud.

The characters have proven surprisingly popular in recent years, inspiring their own spin off film released earlier this month and having a theme park ride at Universal Studios Florida based on their antics.

Minions were closely followed in the poll by being a Hogwarts professor, a superhero or a dinosaur trainer. Other popular picks included being a time traveller or Jedi Knight.

The top 10 fantasy jobs
1. Minion
2. Hogwarts professor
3. Superhero
4. Dinosaur trainer
5. Time traveller
6. Greek God
7. Tooth fairy
8. Fairy godmother
9. Jedi Knight
10. Vampire slayer
