Mine would have to be Richard Osman. I love his books and his podcast. He just seems a nice interesting person.

Lucy Worsley

Yes definitely for my academic side and Sue Perkins like lots have said.
Zoe Ball, Sara Cox. I think i'd get along with Pink too for my alter ego.

WildWildWestCoast · 13/10/2024 19:49

Hannah Fry, Helen McGinn, & Stacy Solomon. A eclectic mix for sure but I think that they probably cover most bases when it comes to topics of conversation!

Smokeyrobinson · 13/10/2024 19:54

Alex Polizzi - she’s utterly fabulous!

Ricky Gervais - he’s a comedy genius and an animal lover.

Helena Bonham Carter. She would let me borrow some of her fabulously eccentric clothes and we would have such a good time!

I know this is a very old post but I have a very tenuous connection with Dame Sue Black and apparently she is lovely and funny in real life. I love her books, she’s such an awesome woman (in the true sense, although she’s definitely awesome in the other sense too!).

Jo brand
bob mortimer
Skin (skunk anansie)
dawn french

id like to throw in a couple of American celebs to get free visits but can’t quite think of a particular one at this moment

LindorDoubleChoc · 13/10/2024 20:45

Jo Brand. She lives nearby and our children are similar ages. We had a nice chat in the park once when our dds were toddlers and playing together. I've always loved her, since long before either of us became a parent.

TopBun · 14/10/2024 07:53

@BriceNobeslovesMurielHeslop Oh, I’m really pleased to hear that!

StunnedandHappy · 14/10/2024 07:59

Greg Davies
Claudia Winkleman
little Alex Horne

but I fear I wouldn’t be funny enough for them so maybe I would see them individually!

Violetparis · 14/10/2024 08:11

JK Rowling
Kathy Burke
Bob Mortimer
Paul Whitehouse
Michael Palin

SabreIsMyFave · 20/05/2024 14:13

YES to the lovely JK Rowling! Also Sally Lindsay, Sheridan Smith, Sally Ann Matthews. Just normal Northern lasses who I reckon would be a laugh at the pub.

And.. don't laugh... Kate and Wills. I know they wouldn't wanna be mates with a pleb like me though! 😁

What on earth attracts you to the bland and dutiful Kate and William? I imagine going to the pub with either would be like going with a painfully well-behaved hologram programmed to ‘Show Relatable and Completely Uncontroversial Face of Monarchy’.

I’d like to hang out with Tilda Swinton.
