I’d love to be mates with any of Graham Norton, Claudia Winkleman, Adele or Olivia Attwood. Not to meet their showbiz mates, just to have a beer, or a coffee, or a meal now and then.

They all strike me as good company and would be a good friend. I’m sure we’d get on…

If it can be someone from the past:

  1. Abraham Lincoln - a quiet, steely, determined and extraordinary politician and humanitarian.
  1. Harriet Tubman - a truly courageous and remarkable woman who achieved so much for the benefit of others.

From the present:

  1. Hamza Yassin - superb naturalist, wildlife cameraman and all round decent, pleasant chap with, like myself, a love of quiet, wild places - I think we would get along.
  1. Lucy Worsley - passionate about history, and a very engaging, wry and slightly eccentric personality.

I agree with this. I'd also add Adam Frost and Arit.

As an aside I'm reading Carol Klein's autobiography and she was the first person to bring a case under the sex discrimination act. She's one helluva woman.
