Your imaginary dinner party.

stephen fry

Dara O'Brien (sp) that rare combination of brains and comic talent.
Billy, Sandy and Stephen would be welcome too. Michael Bublé for after dinner entertainment

Monty Don, Horatio Nelson, Gladys Aylward, Daphne du Maurier and Graham Norton to keep everyone talking.

We could then have a good old singalong with Chas and Dave.

Daddima Adolf Hitler? Are you sure ?

Merlotgran, could you check dates with me so we don't clash for Monty Don please?

I want Monty Don too, also Sandi Toksvig, Larry Grayson, Boy George and Angela Merkel. Will Be such fun.

Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck, Kathryn Hepburn, Maureen O'Hara and Tom Hanks!

Hmm - I'd like Kit Harrington, Peter Dinklage, Johnny Depp and maybe Cate Blanchett and Liv Tyler. They'd all have to be in character of course and then I'd have to have someone like Jamie Oliver to do the cooking as my culinary skills are non existent so have never actually done a dinner party!

I think I'll add Mary Berry then she can sit next to Lord Nelson and cut his food up for him.

Any three extremely good looking young men, with perfect manners, charm,well groomed, and well dressed, intelligent and with amusing anecdotes to tell.
Well, it's a good dream!

willow you would need a pile of cushions for the chairs of your smaller guests.?

Not sure I'd invite Mary Berry unless she did the cooking.

Perhaps everyone could bring course. Nigella doing the starter, Jamie the main course.......Mary could bring the pud.

I feel indigestion coming on.?

I definitely don't want Monty Don, but i would have Alexander the Great (but you'd have to water his wine!), Katherine Hepburn, the late Dowager Duchess of Devonshire (and i suppose if she's coming, we'll have to invite Elvis!), Michael Caine and Les Dawson (he might even play the piano for us!).

You Would not only have to water his wine Greyduster you would have to watch him with Elvis! Seat Elvis next to Katherine instead, and Caine would like the Duchess Of Devonshire ( and she would like him.)
will anyone like Les Dawson though?

James Nesbitt, Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Piers Morgan (to stir it up) and Claudia Winkleman.

Prof Brian Cox for a bit of intellect and I like slim men
Rafa Nadal my favourite sportsman
Andy Hamilton to make me laugh
Tom Kerridge to cook the Dinner (he only lives down the road from us)
Stevie Wonder to provide the musical entertainment.
My DH to enjoy the evening with me.

The Obamas.

Billy Connolly. Haggred (Robbie Coltrane). Hairy Bikers to do the cooking. Paulo Nutini for after dinner Singing. Ian Rankin to tell a tale or two. Pam Ayres for a little Ditty . Kim and Aggy to clear up afterwards!

Oh I must add 93 year old Baroness Jean Trumpington who I saw give a one hour talk at a Literary Festival - no notes, just a brilliant raconteur. She was so funny and not frightened to say what she thought.

I thought about Jean Trumpington Greyduster when I saw you were going to have the Duchess of Devonshire - are we having a seance too

Glenda Jackson, Maggie Thatcher, Ann Widdecombe, Glenys Kinnock, Hilary Clinton, and all the Loose Women who have ever been in the series.

The following week, it would be just me, Richard Armitage and Alan Rickman.

I must be a shrinking violet. I wouldn't like to have anyone I didn't know round for dinner.
My friends four at a time will do me fine, though it would be nice to have the chef from the Feathers Inn at Hedley on the Hill to do the cooking, and someone to do the clearing up!
