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}

Bernard Levin, rings a bell, but no.
Katherine Whitehorn. Observer columnist?
Bernard Braden. No.
Nemone Lethbridge. No idea actually. Which is annoying as it's an unusual name.
Jill Tweedie. No.
Robin Day. Bow tie and glasses. Question time presenter?

I’m 61. Know all the men but none of the women.

Heard of Robin Day - but only through Spitting Image. I think.
Did he spit a lot when he spoke??

Laiste · 17/10/2026 18:23

Oh mid 50s

Gwenhwyfar · 17/10/2026 18:25

Yes, like others I have a vague recollection that Robin Day did news or current affairs.
I don't know the others at all.

Argostoys · 17/10/2026 18:27

Early 40s and don’t know any of them.
