I’ve been catching up with Cruising With Jane Macdonald on Channel 5, and I think I could get on with her.
I also think I could get on with Graham Norton.
What about you?

I don't think I'd get on with Jeremy Clarkson. Or want to!
I met Peter Snow who was lovely and Vanessa Redgrave who was even more pleasant and approachable than I anticipated.
I think Tony Robinson would be nice and have been assured by that reliable authority, the London cabbie, that Michael Palin not how he seems on tv but 'even nicer'!

I think I'd get on very well indeed with Anthony Hopkins! We're both Welsh for a start and we'd gone on from there.....

I'd love to have a chat with Michael Caine. He always seemed like a lovely person , and I'm sure he'd be fun to have dinner with.

Julie Walters, Dawn French, Michael Palin and I would try very hard to get on with Tom Burke ?

BlueBelle Sun 11-Mar-18 07:16:26

Bbbevan you stole my thunder I was just going to say Tom Burke
Judy Dench seems down to earth

Iam64 Sun 11-Mar-18 08:07:26

Mat Smith, Julie Walters and Maxine Peake
Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep and Morgan Freeman

Can they be dead celebrities? If so then I'd like to think that I'd get on well with Victoria Wood. Maybe wishful thinking though.
Marion Keynes seems a lot of fun. I think she'd be good company.

Another vote for Michael Palin but also Rick Stein. Both come across as kind, laid back, well mannered men.

Elegran Sun 11-Mar-18 08:43:58

Sandi Toksvig always seems sensible and has a great sense of humour.

Billy Connolly

Colin Firth. And if I can have a dead one, Arthur Miller.

sodapop Sun 11-Mar-18 10:03:05

Ooh Sean Bean & Liam Neeson.
I could get on well with Victoria Wood and Terry Wogan.

I would not get on with Michael Caine because of his politics but I think I would with Julie Waters, Oprah Winfrey, Jane Garvey, both Obamas, Jeremy Corbyn and I would make damn sure to get on with Rufus Sewell, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Aneurin Bernard!

Suebcrafty Sun 11-Mar-18 11:16:14

I would love to chat to Tom Hanks to find out if we were in any way related as my maiden name was Hanks.

Elrel I used to have an office in a neighbouring building to Tony Robinson's production office and we often used to catch the same tube train. We would pass pleasantries in the way you do with someone you keep bumping into but don't really know. He has a lovely nature. I count it as knowing him although I doubt he wouldn't recognise me if he saw me now.

Martin Clunes always seems to bear a passing resemblance to a decent human being. I would happily have him to tea.

MissAdventure Sun 11-Mar-18 11:42:14

My mum used to be his cleaner, and she said he is the most lovely, humble, quite shy man.

Julie Walters ,Matt baker ,sandi toksgiv ,Paul o grady

Emma Thompson and Gregson Wise

Jaycee - glad TR is pleasant!
Bluebelle - a friend confirms that JD is indeed down to earth and humorous.
Sally Phillips is delightful, friendly and warm.
I’d love to go on 15:1 just to meet Sandi Toksvig. I wasn’t a big Bradley Walsh fan until I met him and The Governess was unexpectly great.
I used to long to meet Sean Bean, not so sure now. I’ve left it too late to meet Leonard Cohen so must dream on about him!
I have it third hand that Julian Clary is lovely, an ideal birth partner!! I’d like to meet him, only got as far as seeing him in Aladdin! Lee Mead was also in it. I was surprised to find myself leaning forward with a silly grin on my face each time he was on stage!

redrich Sun 11-Mar-18 11:54:13

Billy Connelly

GabriellaG Sun 11-Mar-18 11:58:47

The Obamas, Mary Berry, Donal MacIntyre, Willie Nelson, Bill Bryson and Bill Clinton.

MissAdventure Sun 11-Mar-18 12:03:15

Janet Street Porter, Philip Schofield, David Mitchell

missdeke Sun 11-Mar-18 12:05:33

I've met Dot and Jim Branning from Eastenders a few time and both were absolutely delightful and very easy to get on with. I'm sure I'd get on with Julie Walters, Linda Robson and I'd like to meet Paul O'grady.
