Who

[MrCollinsandhisboiledpotatoes]

In light of David Attenborough's (obviously a national treasure, I will not be taking questions) 100th birthday and all the well deserved fuss, who else makes your pride of Britain list for list for national treasures?

To make it interesting, you can only have five, and they must be alive, if we have dead people we'll be here all night. So sadly no Maggie Smiths or Princess Dianas.

I am still thinking of mine, and will update....

Judi Dench
Claudia W (for DH!!)
Steven fry
jeremy clarkson (my DS vote!!)
mary berry

I'm finding it really hard to pick five. There's loads I like but picking my top five is tough.

Assuming David Attenborough is just a given and I don't have to include him in my own top five.

Louis Theroux has a place for sure.

I want to add authors but it's hard to pick... Micheal Rosen and JK Rowling are strong contenders.

Graham Norton
Ian Mckellan
Judi Dench
Stephen Fry
Claudia W

But could swap Claudia with JK Rowling.

Alan Bennett
David Hockney

Sir David Attenborough (family love him)
Stephen Booth
Jo jo moyes
Guy garvey from elbow ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Phil Collins ❤️

Patrick Stewart... the closest real life gets to Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

Like the Clarkson vote @samlovesdilys , he does epitomise the bloody-minded-ness of the British.

Clarkson
Controversial I am sure, but Camilla, for more bloody minded-ness, and being Queen in an ‘ I really never wanted this job’ sort of way
Lewis Hamilton
Kenny Dagliesh
David Beckham

Stephen Fty - absolutely not. And is Graham Norton British? I thought he was from Eire.

Dame Shiela Hancock
Dame Judi Dench
J K Rowling

Will have you have a think about the other two.

John Lydon
Ade Edmonson
Kathy Burke
Helen Mirren
Michael Palin

Monty Don.

Joanna Lumley
Howard from the old Halifax adverts
Trevor McDonald
Prince Louis
The Lettuce that was more popular than Liz Truss

John cleese
joanna lumley
Andrew Lloyd Webber
Adrian edmondson
Monty Don

Stephen Fry and Louis Theroux would be a hard no from me.

Alan Rickman
Judi Dench
Edited because i posted too soon to add John Cleese

Gary Lineker!

Kathy Burke
Michael Palin
Alan Bennett
Alan Carr
Olivia Coleman

Some great ideas already.
definitely Judi Dench, Michael Rosen, would have gone for Victoria Wood but maybe Dawn French instead, Bob Mortimer…conscious I’m going too much down a comedy road now though. Monty Don is a good call.
Ooh it’s too hard I give up!

JK Rowling
Jamie Oliver
Guy Garvey
Hugh Grant
Mary Berry

Oh I forgot Bob Mortimer! He can have Mary Berry’s place since I’ve got two chefs 😂

Patrick Stewart plays him, that’s why!

Alan rickman is deceased so you get another vote

He always appears on lists of the worst celebrities for being a letch.

J K Rowling
Billy Connolly
Danny Dyer
Judi Dench
Ricky Gervais

Paul McCartney

Men would be

Idris Elba
Marcus Rashford
Lenny Henry
Elton John
Micheal Sheen

Women would be

Helena Bonham Carter
Annie Lennox
Kate Winslet
Katie Piper
Jade Thirwall
