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

[plug]

Because I can't.

Actually I 'm not crazy about Michael Palin, very self important on those trips, getting passive aggresively huffy if he was delayed by people going about their daily business.

Not for their respective music, but I think its hard to dislike Bono and Geldof for what they do humanitarian wise - they seem to take it seriously and not just for the cudos of it.

Not sure we are gonna reach any kind of agreement here ladies.....

i 2nd mow mowlam

Ah so I know where you live HC! Well, I know where you live near, at least....

From the thread I'd go for Stephen Fry, but can I throw John Nettles into the mix? (figuratively speaking, obviously.)

There's something wonderfully solid and dependable about him, and even if you're not a fan of Midsomer Massacres, surely you can appreciate his calm professionalism?

Have a bit of a thing (non-romantic) about Mr Nettles. I've always wished he was my long lost uncle or something, as there is something fundamentally decent about him.

If you disagree, don't be mean - I might sulk prodigiously

No one has yet mentioned the fab

Robert Lindsay

Cherie Booth

I quite fancy Robert Lyndsay too.

What about Oprah Winfrey?

You're having us on now aren't you MT?

MT, if we have Cherie we also have to think about Barbs Bush.....

Mo Mowlem would get my vote too

Phillip & Fern
Richard Branson
Steve Wright
Kate Garraway
Lorraine Kelly
Tom Cruise

I HATE Lorraine Kelly. Well, obviously I don't know her, but I can't watch anything she is involved with...

ruty, i also know where HC is. verrry near here...

I think day time TV presenters should be out on principle..as daytime TV represents and indeed causes most of the wrongs of the world

Alan Davies, John Nettles..somebody will suggest Lynda Bellingham next...all too too terry and June, can't we find someone about feisty to agree on?

i like matthew wright - he's a bit feistier than the average tv presenter - but i suspect he may not be the most popular...

(and i suspect he - or one of his people - likes mumsnet - his discussions of the day appear to come straight from the chat topic)

Tutter - isn't it more likely that his topic of the day is what is happening in the world that day, and therefore it is also chatted about on MN?

yes, for some of them. but others are more 'left field' - may pick up on a very small news item.

are you a covert matthew wright researcher then?

what about Kirsty from Location?

zeitgeist and me are strangers..who is matthew wright?

yes, but...

phil from location, l..., l... - now you're talking

No Tutter!

zippi - channel 5 morning chat/discussion prog. it's the show where he blurted out the ulrika / john leslie thing.

are you sure dior - are you the lady on the phones (can't remember her name) - she is a mum...
