Ignoring the rather silly row regarding the lack of a female monarch for a number of years, and now the lack of a female, (apart from the Queen), on our banknotes, so as to equal things up a little, who would you wish to see on our bank notes?

A famous male and a famous female on each of these bank notes, £5, £10, £20, £50, these famous people have to have lived in the 20th and 21st century.
