If you are under 65 do you know who these people are?

They were significant figures in their day, but now?
Bernard Levin
Katherine Whitehorn
Bernard Braden
Nemone Lethbridge
Jill Tweedie
Robin Day.

{They are in no particular order BTW}

I remember Robin Day. Have heard the name Bernard Levin, but no idea who he actually is. Haven’t heard of the others. Am 59.

Robin Day
Bernard Braden because his daughter Kim played Anne of Green Gables in a series when I was a kid.

I'm 65 and I've only heard of Robin Day but I have no idea who he is or why he might be well known.

tobee · 17/10/2026 17:01

I know all of them except Nemone Lethbridge. But that name vaguely rings a bell wheras the others I go say a fair bit about them and pick them out in a crowd. I’m 58.

cardibach · 17/10/2026 17:02

I’m 61. Don’t know 4 and 5 but familiar (very) with the others. I might remember the other two with context. Why?
