Fantasy dinner party - who would you invite?

[MellowBird85]

Five famous people, dead or alive. Who would you choose? Here’s mine:

Prince (obvs)
Micky Flanagan
Morgan Freeman
Stevie Wonder
Alanis Morrisette

Although I think Micky would get on Prince’s nerves...

David Attenborough.
Muhammad Ali.
Dwayne Johnson.
Lady gaga.
Olivia Coleman

Kerry Godliman
Greg Davies
Ash Sarkar
Louis Theroux
Catherine the Great

substitute: Bob Mortimer

Lady Gaga
Kurt Cobain
Barack Obama
Drake
Dave Grohl
Piers Morgan

Adam Buxton
Kathy Burke
Gregg Davies
Elizabeth Day
Adele

Joanna Lumley
Tony Robinson
Billy Connolly
Emma Thompson
Julie Walters

Barack and Michelle Obama
Sir Patrick Stewart
Sir Ian McLellan
Stephen Fry

Freddie Mercury
Paul o Grady
Graham norton
Sharon osbourne
Julie Walters

Oh and Joan rivers

Richard Osman
Tom Burke
Andy Warhol
Richard Armitage
Greg Davies

Or, if I was if I was going for equal numbers, scrap Davies and Armitage and substitute J K Rowling and Lauren Bacall

Einstein
Elon musk
Taylor Hanson
Jesus
Rik Mayal

David Bowie
Boudicca (I'm assuming in fantasy she can speak modern English)
Che Guevara
Michelle Obama
Gloria Steinem

Victoria Viren Mitchell
Sandi Toksvig
Seth MacFarlane
Mark Gatiss
David Tennant

I was going to go highbrow and say Noam Chomsky but he might be a little serious for dinner time conversation.

Only one PP wants Olivia Coleman? Are you all mad? I think I might have 5 clones of Olivia and me

But I like this game, so:

Olivia Coleman
Margaret Atwood
Madhur Jaffrey
Jarvis Cocker
Captain Tom

Douglas Bader
Lt Col A D Wintle
Maggie Aderin Pocock
Nina Simone
Abraham Lincoln

[quote MellowBird85]@trodinaboris oo er Katie Hopkins...very controversial!

I forgot about Tom Hanks bloody hell, might revoke Alanis’ invitation for him [/quote]
I'd love to see her struggling with the intellectual conversation that the others would no doubt be having

Jesus
Margaret Thatcher
The Queen
Barack and Michelle
Miriam Margolyes
Joanna Lumley

(Sorry, that's 7 and I can think of more!)

Steven Fry
Jeremy Clarkson
Richard Littlejohn
Sandi Toksvig

Boudicca
Mother Theresa
Margaret Thatcher
Anne Boleyn
Mary Beard
Me

With Colin Firth serving please

One of the people mentioned most on here is somebody I've had dinner with 😁

Just God and The Devil. It would be so constructive for the two of them to sit and talk in a civilised manner in a civilised setting. However, I expect they both have a busy schedule so I'll settle for:

Kenneth Williams
Peter Ustinov
Terry Wogan
HM The Queen
Jimmy Savile

Kenneth Williams should be able to talk Savile into submission early on. Then he can leave before dessert.

Simone de Beauvoir
Chris Morris
Charles Darwin
Rosa Parks
Mary Anning

I think that would be a really interesting conversation. I'd just listen and make sure everyone's glasses were topped up.

Could I also add Bob Mortimer and Emma Thompson?

Ooooh do tell? Jesus or Boudicca?

I think I need Charles Darwin too. Before the worm saga though please. Dont sit him next to prof Cox though. They would just talk to each other.

My Nannie (she was always great craic at parties)
My Husband's Nanny (who died just as we started seeing eachother so I never got to meet her)
David Attenborough
The Queen (without all of the official stuff, just Lizzy for dinner to actually see what her life has been like and how much craic she actually is)
Barrack Obama (he always seems so lovely).
