I don’t know about mum and dad, but there are a few grandads I would chose... David Attenborough, Christopher Walken and Morgan Freeman.

David and Victoria Beckham. She seems like such a lovely mum. I’d love to spend 10 minutes in her wardrobe!

MonkeyToesOfDoom · 25/12/2019 22:46

Kathy Burke & Harry Enfield.

Birth to 11 would be hilarious fun.
12 - 19 would be cringey and embarrassing.
20+ would return to hilarity again.

@ManualFlusherSnot

Christopher Walker? Seriously???? Hmm

misspiggy19 · 25/12/2019 22:54

Walken obviously

Lol @fruitywidow love them

Lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 25/12/2019 23:33

I know they aren't real people but Pam and Mick from Gavin and Stacey would be mine. Love them both and v loving but fun parents.

Pannalash · 25/12/2019 23:34

Hilary and Michael Whitehall I’m sure they’re amazing parents and a great hoot.

Newfloorlamp · 25/12/2019 23:36

Timothy West and Prunella Scales for Grandparents and I'd be happy with Ruth Jones as my Mum and Hugh Laurie as my Dad please

stellarsky · 25/12/2019 23:37

Mary Killen and Giles Wood

DS calls dh and me Mick and Pam,he's not joking either,don't know whether to be insulted or flattered Grin

I'd like Mr and Mrs Walton.

HelloViroids · 25/12/2019 23:42

Emma Thompson and Stephen Fry

Witchinghour1 · 25/12/2019 23:51

A A Gill and Victoria Coren Mitchell

bathplugbonkers · 25/12/2019 23:54

Maxine Peake and Colin Firth

Deadringer · 26/12/2019 00:00

I think Colin firth would be a lovely dad not sure about a mum, maybe Meryl Streep? Fictional parents would be the Crachets, but only if they won the lottery.

Starksforthewin · 26/12/2019 00:07

So cross at CuteOrangeElephant for getting to Tom Hanks before me.

I’ve always thought he would be the perfect father.

DinoSn0re · 26/12/2019 00:14

David Jason and Ruth Jones.

HowlsMovingBungalow · 26/12/2019 00:16

Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman.

IdblowJonSnow · 26/12/2019 00:21

Also came on to say David Attenborough as grandad. Kate Moss for a big sister, love her clothes. Susan Sarandon as a cool aunt. Cant think of anyone I'd want for parents, hmm. Someone really maternal but funny and strong with a life of her own.
