Dawn French.

She’s lost the plot.

Oh yes, agree on that one

Ok, not NT status but there seems to be a growing adoration for Dr Amir Khan. I absolutely cannot stand him. Fame has gone to his head but he’s beyond cringey especially when he breaks into Bollywood dance on insta posts (which I try to stop seeing but they keep worming their way into my feed).

Olivia bloody Coleman. She comes across so cloying in interviews.

Yes! And she comes across as really out of touch and luvvie

Blogswife · 29/08/2026 19:23

Jeremy bloody Clarkson . I’ve no idea why people like him so much , he’s an absolute shit

NHS

really badly run, wasteful and often barely mediocre.

i think it needs a complete reformation with funding agreed - then voted for by the public. I think NHS v2 needs to happen soon, so people who are ill can be treated.

As someone who's life was saved by the NHS I think I'm entitled to tell you to FUCK OFF RIGHT OFF

RumJerrySailorRum · 29/08/2026 19:24

Elaine Paige. Smug bitch.

Not sure I'd class a lot of other people mentioned as National Treasures but I do feel intense dislike for some of them.

Bloody Miriam Margolies.
An older woman farting and swearing, shock and horror! Clearly must be hilarious. Not.

Reminds me of Rosie Jones. Ooh! Disabled woman says fuck a lot. So edgy!
So dull.

PS I am an older and disabled woman myself so if I am not a fan, who is??

Edited

Same. I’m an open-minded old gimmer with disabilities who has had a long career in science. Rosie Jones would ‘mad angry cry’ over my knowledge of science, no doubt.

Oh and add to that the failed attempt at a national treasure, Robin Ince. More of a national knob, really.

Came here to say Stephen Fry but seems I'm not alone!
And most of the others too,including David Mitchell who I used to like but now find a bit tedious.

allgoodhere783 · 29/08/2026 19:25

It makes sense that annoying anyone very BBC or Hollywood related are dodgey... all covering for each other.

Thegirlwhowent · 29/08/2026 19:26

Clare Balding, Miriam Margolis, Sandi Toksvig, Alan Titchmarsh.

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

And if you're lucky she might use the mee-cro-wah-vay!

I think that Jeremy Clarkson doing his farm show saved his career tbh. Whatever your view , he has raised so many issues with farming and taught me a lot as a ‘ townie ‘with no idea of the challenges. At least he is honest, even if people don’t like him or his views on many other things ( which is fair enough of course )

AplineDaisies · 29/08/2026 19:27

Jeremy Clarkson isn't a NT- no way.

Loathsome individual he is.

Paddington

What’s Paddington done?

“I'll never be like other people, but that's alright because I'm a bear.”

MrsMoastyToasty · 29/08/2026 19:28

Tony Blackburn.
