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

[SereneGoose]

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

Yes I think he was quite immature when he started out but then he was quite young.

he also loves his dogs so he’s clearly a good chap

Ladygodalmighty - no not joking, as I said I find Olivia Coleman perfectly pleasant on chat shows but she plays exactly the sane part (herself) in whatever role she is in.
Dollymylove - I agree about Carol "Chippy Chipmunk" Vorderman. For an intelligent woman she doesn't half think the rest of the population is stupid. It's obvious she has had extensive plastic surgery. No issue with that at all, it's her body, her money, her choice but pretending she hasn't had any is just plain lying.

Agreed, his dry sense of humour is right up my street but his defence of female tennis players makes him top level athlete for me

MIL doesn’t like her one bit, similar age and MB was something to do with the “Gas board”

MB is very smug, agree with a lot of the comments here

Fair enough. 🙂

I applaud the principle of the NHS and many of the fantastic people who work within it, and yes, there are many centres of excellence - of course, it’s not actually free; we all pay for it, just like we pay for our state school places - but what we have in the 21st century is an overall terrible service which attempts to offer everything and fails to deliver on much.
It’s like having a parent who all your elders keep reinforcing is a marvellous cook and who you remember making you decent meals when you were a young child, but now you are a teenager the quality is variable and meals are served whenever they feel like it, often inadequate and frequently skipped. But despite your malnutrition you continue to extol the belief that they are a fantastic cook and get offended if anyone says otherwise. Our population gets so carried away on a tide of nostalgic pride when the NHS is mentioned that they can be Animal Farm-style manipulated (I’m talking to you, Dominic, you visually-impaired Cummings). Having lived in two other countries and experienced their non-free but sliding-scale affordable healthcare I have seen the alternative. We have NHS hospital storage rooms full of new equipment gathering dust because no one has been trained to use it, high absenteeism, funding of non-essential niche issues when they could have gone towards actual health conditions, some of them life-threatening; poor hygiene, low quality infrastructure, a lot of low quality staff whose English is so poor they cannot communicate with their colleagues or even enter data correctly, agency staff who get paid significantly more than their permanent colleagues, layers of unnecessary management. NHS dentist anyone? GP appointment? A&E waiting time? The shocking state of our maternity facilities and aftercare? In our area if your child cannot attend school because they cannot walk due to an ingrown toenail ‘you will have to go private because we don’t do that anymore’. Sorry? What do we do when we are in pain and urgently need an operation, like my 75 year old neighbour who was told he would have to wait at least 8 months in agony and unable to sleep? We scrabble around in our savings and our children/parents chip in and we go private. So we pay twice. It is an outrageous state of affairs. The NHS in the 21st century is a national embarrassment. No rainbows.

Jack Whitehall. Sanctimonious prick . Endlessly wittering on about being posh - no one cares . And as for the wedding 🤦‍♀️

Noel Fielding with his oversized jumpers and eyeliner and creepiness

I agree with all the previous name’s especially David Attenborough absolute hypocrite

Amanda Holden - maybe not a NT but seems to be everywhere

I stayed at a B &B run by a Gurkha in York last year. It was an impeccable establishment run with great pride. He told me how grateful he was to Joanna Lumley and is obviously a hard working man paying his way in the UK.

Hugh Grant

Loads of posters are just naming famous people

The majority of the celebrities on this thread aren't old enough to be a 'National Treasure'.

Or famous enough. Someone mentioned they don't like Ranvir Singh for heaven's sake.

Stephen Fry
Miriam Margolyes
Dawn French

Michael Caine - gives me the creeps. Blame It on Rio ( ‘comedy’ about a middle age man having an affair with his friends teenage daughter) would not be made today.

Stephen Fry - for the same reasons pp have stated.

Richard E Grant- just so fake on recent TV documentary and heard too many stories of him being a twat,

Scraping the barrel here, Richard Coles ( formally Rev Richard Cole)who I suspect would like to think of himself as a National Treasure. I think he only became a Rev to raise his profile and think he should shut up about his poor deceased partner.

I feel like Fielding is hiding in plain sight.....

I’m so glad I’m not the only person who can’t stand Sandy Toksvig.

Both her and Jonathan Ross try way too hard to be funny, when they’re anything but.

Claudia Winkleman

Oh god yes!! I can’t abide Jamie Oliver!!

I used to like him when he first started out. Even bought his cookbook. But then he got on his high horse and started to try and get everything banned.

And someone said Lenny Henry. Again I used to like him back in the day, but in more recent years he’s become such an irritating twat banging on about reparations.

Marcus Waring
Dawn French
Alan Carr
Paloma Faith
Mary Berry - and her teeth

but I love Hugh Grant
and Andy Murray

I will never hate Sir Dave

I bloody love him.

Whilst I agree that Blame It On Rio would struggle to get made today, it's hardly Michael Caine's fault - he was just a paid actor taking a role for the money. He didn't write, produce or direct the film. It's crap anyway and no one really remembers it except for the creepy element. Early role for Demi Moore though so notable for that.
