With reference to this thead do let us know who you'd like to try.

As we said, we'll consult more on people who approach us and in that spirit we should let you know that we're planning to have Tana Ramsay on next Monday lunchtime... (she's promoting her new book) so if anyone has any Scheherazade-type feelings shout now!

You're making it too easy for these lazy PRs, MNHQ, I tell you! Any old nobody with a book to peddle...tut tut

I want women of merit - artists, businesswomen, politicians. or failing that, proper slebs. Not wives. And not Tony Parsons, ever, ever again

cornsilk · 07/10/2008 14:17

If you do have Jo Brand on could you make it about 9.00 on a Friday night, 'cos then it'll be like sitting in a pub having a drink with her.

EachPeachPearMum · 07/10/2008 14:28

at swedes last offering!

Don't let SGB or UQD anywhere near them!

CharleeInChains · 07/10/2008 14:31

NOT JANET STREET PORTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Swedes · 07/10/2008 14:31

I think UQD would ask some very important questions but wouldn't be rude. SGB might need to be diverted on a simultaneous porn thread.

mrsruffallo · 07/10/2008 14:33

I like Tana ramsey and Jamie Oliver
Shall I get my coat?

Mercy · 07/10/2008 14:33

Charlee, why not JSP?

EachPeachPearMum · 07/10/2008 14:33

'simultaneous porn thread' conjures up all sorts of images.

Don't think I would trust myself not to be rude!

lulumama · 07/10/2008 14:33

Ina May Gaskin
Sheila Kitzinger
Beverley Beech ( i sat next to her at a conference, she is ace !)

gothicmama · 07/10/2008 14:34

Rusell Brand - might be interesting
John Lyden
Caroline Archer - adoptive parent and author

squeaver · 07/10/2008 14:36

Oh yes Mary Portas
Also: Marian Keyes - she is wonderful and would be on here all the time if she had kids, I'm sure.

Julia Donaldson/Michael Rosen - yes yes

I'll tell you who else is wonderful - Sue Townsend. Every time's she interviewed she's funny and inspiring

Those of us on the S&B threads would love Alexandra Shulman I'm sure. Or maybe someone from Grazia. Lisa Armstrong from The Times is a brill fashion writer - high street and labels. Maybe Caitlin Moran could put in a word?

Disappointed to hear about the Camilla Kidscape woman. She would be brilliant.

CharleeInChains · 07/10/2008 14:36

Mercy - She just gets on my nerves, i think its the voice, then again i guess over a live web chat that wouldn't be a problem! (Duh Charlee!)

(Charlee now sorry incase JSP is a mumsnetter)

Ok i can make my peace with JSP but please not Russell Brand, i don't care if he's a secret MN'er he's a twat.

gothicmama · 07/10/2008 14:51

Charlee i have to dis agree with you , anyway the dc would be mke me ask West Ham related questions if he was on, as like him they are hammers for life.

combustiblelemon · 07/10/2008 14:53

There are loads of good names on here.

Sarah Beeny
Mary Portas
Sandy Toskvig
Victoria Wood

I'd add:

Angela Hartnett (brilliant chef)
Meera Syal
Diane Abbot

combustiblelemon · 07/10/2008 14:56

Also MN I'd like it noted that I was good. I didn't go and call your guest names. Even though he thoroughly deserved them. I'll make sure I'm filing my nails when Mrs. Ramsey is on too.

MouseMate · 07/10/2008 15:29

Kirsty and/or Phil
Sarah Beeny
Lord Robert Winston
Jo Frost
RIchard and Judy
Alvin Money Bloke
Fern Britton - and chef hubby
