Can anyone think of a famous person who all Mumsnetters like?

[plug]

Because I can't.

Like HFW a lot but his habit if eating very nasty things has to be taken into consideration. I want his life though [as long as i can pass on the placenta]

so, does anyone not like Michael Palin?

Got it

Eddie Izzard

Linda Smith - definitely
John Peel
Alan Bennett
Michael Palin

oh,and Eddie Izzard

John Holt
Ted Wragg
Tove Jansson

there like lambs to the slaughter

Am utterly neutral about most of them though zippi. Am loving how awkward htis thread is.

Stockard Channing was "look at me I'm Sandra Dee lousy with virginity" in Grease, zippi.

eddie izzard gets my vote too

love his stand-up video - the alcatrrrrazzz one

i was impressed by tanya's proper credentials and the fact she still works in the nhs

also like the bbc breakfast doctor..she seems such a poppet, I wish she was my gp

OH, neutral for Tanya has gone to like if still in NHS.

oh zippi, you should meet my gp. not a mere mortal. patient, kind, calls me to check on things after horrid events. like you want her to be your mum, sister and best friend all at once. will be gutted if i move.

oh god no, not Izzard! Yes, he was brilliant in his early years, but then ... he got all up himself and pretentious so that now I can't bear the man!

But Jack Dee ... I don't see how ANYONE could dislike him

sorry i spoke to jack dee (in a boring work context) many moons ago and he was abrupt and stroppy.

Jack dee fan here too..dp gets nausea when he's on..

Gary Lineker is a sleazeball.

Jack Dee is not funny. Terry Wogan is a bit pompous. Eddie Izzard is a terrible actor. John Peel gets my vote, if dead people are allowed.

I would go along with Palin, Jarvis and D. Attenborough

John Holt yes, but he's hardly a celebrity so he can't count

oh yes and John Peel, in fact I think he's the best, most widely-appealing nomination so far
