Review (in 1996):

Eat your heart out, David Letterman - the FBI's been doing the Top Ten gig for years. And now you don't have to go to the post office to see photos and bios of these dangerous crooks.

When we visited, Arthur Lee Washington topped the list (though the FBI insists that members of the list "are not ranked"), with scars on his neck, arms, wrists, and left thigh, and the classic label of "armed and dangerous".

These creepy bios are backed by an excellent FAQ about the list, which was launched in 1950 and has had more than 400 members.

"DO NOT ATTEMPT TO APPREHEND THESE FUGITIVES YOURSELF" says the page, advice that probably doesn't need to be repeated.

On our last visit, however, the list had only nine members. What, there was nobody nasty enough to bump up from number 11?
