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

Stephen Fry, he was nasty to a friend of mine.

Pretty much everyone mentioned (except Attenborough - I think at his age you get to be sanctimonious)

my grandad despised Bruce Forsyth with a passion which I picked up despite not knowing why!

not keen on Claudia tbh

Now Claude is blasphemy! I want her to be my BFF

ReallyIsThisStillGoingOn · 29/08/2026 18:57

Stephen Fry - thinks he's so much better than everyone else.

AsTheAutumnCrowFlies · 29/08/2026 18:57

Dawn French.

She’s lost the plot.

the80sweregreat · 29/08/2026 18:57

Lulu is annoying. I am not a fan, but she can sing.
Was never keen on Brucie , he ruined strictly by making it about him. They did a nice tribute to him though.

David Attenborough 🫣

Me too!

ETA: I’m surprised how many people have mentioned him already as expected to be alone in this opinion.

You can have Claude for your bff if I can be invited to dinner at Nigellas say once a week.

David Attenborough.

I don't think this one is actually allowed, is it? I mean, isn't dissing him a bit like murdering gorillas or melting glaciers or something?

Lulu..Professional Glaswegian
Annie Lennox..professional Aberdonian.
And the biggest cunt of all
Cliff Richard.

janespantrydrippers · 29/08/2026 18:59

Stephen Fry
Cliff Richard
Lenny Henry
Miriam margoyles
Elton John
Mick Jagger

Tom Jones. I suspect he has a lot of super injunctions.

Same! He is an eco-hypocrite!

Filming Life on Earth and Planet Earth required decades of global flights, resulting in a massive personal and production carbon footprint.

Fist bumps all the other Attenborough sceptics.

He's had a lifetime of trotting the globe and he's now trying to guilt trip anyone who travels by air even a tiny amount of all the trips he's been on.

This 💯

Miriam Margoles far too pleased with herself. She's an OK character actress but that's about it.
Sandi Toksvig neither as funny nor as erudite as she seems to think she is. Denmark can have her back anytime.
Stephen Fry. He was OK as Jeeves (but Dennis Price was better).
Claudia Winkleman. How that woman makes a living I honestly do not understand.

Ant & Dec. They should have been history when Ant got caught drunk driving, I don’t think he’s a great example and shouldn’t be on prime time tv.

Eclipsing · 29/08/2026 19:01

Stephen Fry and Miriam Margoyles seem to be in the lead so don't need my vote, but they're getting it anyway.

Jonathan Woss ( not sure he's a NT).

Romesh Ranganathan. I'm not sure he's a NT yet but crawling up that greasy pole quickly; but everything about him sets my teeth on edge.

Yellowsubmarine55 · 29/08/2026 18:37

David Attenborough 🫣

Nooooooo
How can you say that?
Who's gonna teach us everything about nature when he's gone?

JacknDiane · 29/08/2026 19:02

I dont like most of them

Miriam Margoles, Sandi Toksvig .Joanna Lumley.

Sorry.

There is probably a special place in hell reserved for me.

And Stephen Fry

Its the smug I can’t take.

Edited

Joanna Lumley ????
Noooo way.
She's fab. So worthy of National Treasure status.
😊

OMG I thought I was the only one who disliked Attenborough. I used to quite enjoy watching his wildlife programmes but now they all come with a dreary disclaimer on how all these species are dying because we’re all so terrible for being alive, and of course he’s in no way responsible for encouraging people to travel and see these amazing creatures when he was younger.

In counterpoint to some previous posts - I met David Jason many years ago, and he was absolutely lovely to me. Just my experience!

He was a sparks before he became an actor. Re-wired the house of a mate of mine. Said he was a lovely bloke.

Smokewhistle · 29/08/2026 19:04

I remember Linda Robson declaring herself a national treasure on some program or other. I thought at the time ( and still do) no you are not.

Arran2024 · 29/08/2026 19:05

Another vote for Miriam.

Also Peter Kay.
