Anytime a thread like this pops up, Anthony Head’s name usually pops up. Nobody who has ever met him has a bad word to say about him apparently

Ugh, I wish I’d proof read that before posting

Definitely an excellent fantasy dinner party!

Catterbat you're right it would be great. I've never known who to put down on my fantasy dinner party list, I do now.

ROBERT CARLYLE!!! 😱

I've just said that this is the one that would break my fragile heart!

Not "Wee Robbie"

<weeps>

<hopes someone will offer gin>

I've met him and he was delightful. I also saw him shopping in Mothercare with his wife years ago, and he was so lovely to her/ smiley/ interested in what they were buying.

@Somanysocks Sadly I found her to unfriendly, arrogant and only interested in herself
@ButterflyBitch I met him a few years ago and he was just lovely.

So do I.

I can feel in my very bones that he is a delight, as an actor and as a human being.

I absolutely agree - he must be, it's impossible for him not to be. I don't have Twitter, but reading his interviews seeing him on TV confirms that he is lovely.

Somanysocks · 20/10/2022 12:32

@HumousWhereTheHeartIs ah no that's a shame

😂 I think I must have only been 4/5/6 and I was so confused as I loved that programme but my parents were very odd about it

What on earth were they speculating about, @WhataboutThewhataboutery ?

Then again, perhaps I don't want to know! 🙉

Rose Ayling-Ellis
Kylie Minogue
Dermot O'Leary

Also agree re Rylan!

I have met Kylie, when she was in her twenties. She was very nice.

Billy Connolly

I would be devastated if he was not the fabulous person I think he is.

Boopeedoop · 20/10/2022 12:38

Morgan Freeman.

PuppyMonkey · 20/10/2022 12:38

Got to be Ken Bruce.

re David Jason, he got a mention in a thread on here recently didn’t he? Something rather unpleasant and inappropriate going on? I can’t remember exactly.

katseyes7 · 20/10/2022 12:41

Samuel West CANNOT be anything other than lovely and delightful. I refuse to countenance it. He's a joy on Twitter and he IS a joy in real life, I just know it.

I follow Sam on twitter and he is wonderful. During the pandemic he asked people to say what their favourite poems were, and every day he recorded one on Soundcloud and dedicated it to the person who'd requested it.
He recorded one for me, it was quite a lengthy one, and l saved the recording. That was so kind and lovely of him.

A580Hojas · 20/10/2022 12:44

Omg yes, I agree with the pp who said Dolly!

Susan Calman

I seem to remember Popbitch having quite a bit to say on her popularity - or lack thereof - among her fellow Strictly contestants.
