Which "National Treasure" do you not like so much?

[SereneGoose]

Sandi Toksvig...I mean she's ok..but personally she itches my tits.

I agree, I think she would have interfered in the boys romances as she was reportedly jealous of other women. I certainly doubt Kate would be around… she would take the limelight off Diana ( and that would never do!) Diana was exceptionally manipulative with the press, and they danced to her tune, as she was their meal ticket. I think her aura would have faded with time, and as the boys grew up.

Is there anyone left to fill the role?

Interesting how many women NTs are hated.

Maybe a list of those NTs who are adored would be interesting for the sake of curiosity - and balance.

David Attenborough
David Beckham
Stephen Fry
Lenworth Henry
🖕

Aah, apologies, then.
I seem to remember him doing concerts sitting down and his son being on drums (?) and thinking, “ why are you still doing this, you are poorly, go home and rest”

Lenny Henry

Fiona Bruce
Dawn French
Sandi Toksvig (sp.?)
🖕

The 2nd one. First one was much better. And don’t get me started on the TV series.

Judi Dench for doing the Money Supermarket ad, surely she can't be that skint.

@gingercat02agree - Jonathan Ross is vile

I don't "adore" anyone but I reckon Dolly Parton was a good egg but not British of course.

Miriam Margoyles. Awful vulgar woman who has zero redeeming features

Steven Fry. So up his own arse he can see his teeth. And Marrying a bloke half his age makes me want to hurl.

Tom Daley - baby buyer.

Lenny Henry. Hasn’t been funny since about 1980 and if he’s not happy about Britains past then he can give his all money for reparations. Set an example.

Michael Sheen. Fabulous actor, got far too hairy and political. STFU and act.

David Tennant . All round cunt. Can’t watch anything he’s in now. He and Russel fucked DrWho for me and many others. Act ffs - don’t try to brainwash me.

Joanna Lumley
Lulu
Jeremy Clarkson

Wasn't a fan of Bruce Forsyth

But adore Rylan, Alan Carr and Claud W

You mean Jonathan’s surname begins with R?! I thought it was Jonafan Woss.

So did my mum re Bruce. He made her shudder 😂

Eddie Izzard

Thirty years ago he was the funniest stand up I have ever seen

But so glad he failed to become an MP

I used to love Michael McIntyre when he first started…now he’s very “Sunday Night at the London Palladium” … dull, the edge has gone off his humour and he’s more a host than anything else.

John Bishop…again, enjoyed him in the early years, he was sharp and funny. Now he’s gone so “Scouse” in his speech that I barely understand him at times… and another one who’s persona was based on where they came from and championing the city. I’ve just googled him…
He lives in West Sussex…

This. Can’t stand him and his programmes are boring IMO

If people are going to moan about Judy Dench doing ads, what about Roy Keene who doesn’t even have to speak during one ad he does and probably earnt a fortune for just appearing on it! It’s easy money , I don’t blame them for accepting that kind of work.

Helen Leaderer

I was a big fan of Billy Connolly until the Ken Bigley thing. Now he can get fucked.

Agree with most of these - Stephen Fry and Sandy Toksvig - both too smug and pleased with themselves
Miriam Margoyles - not funny at all but easy to avoid nowadays.
Joanna Lumley - don't dislike her as much as the above but dislike her breathy voice and the way she is on so many adverts
David Attenborough - his lecturing others on global warming when he has travelled all over the world himself. I think what is annoying about the NTs is being labelled one seems to embolden them to spout their opinion on anything and everything. It must give them an overblown sense of their own importance.

I couldn't watch him for years after This is England- he was too good at his role and scared me!!!! 🤣

@HermioneHerman- that’s a shame re MM - his observations are spot on. I feel similarly about Romesh - used to love him, now he’s far too overexposed and the BBC’s mouthpiece.

Stephen fry
Miriam margolyes
Jeremy clarkson

Definitely the right Mary. I find Mary Beard's delivery really difficult and just can't listen to her.
That said ... I can't stand Mary Berry either!
