Your Dream Lockdown Partner

[thesshhh]

If you could choose any well-known person to be in lockdown with - just the two of you - who would be yours?

[ladybirder]

If I couldn't have Nigel Havers then Louis Theroux would be a good companion with so many tales to tell. As long as I didn't feature in his next lot of tales.

I'll take one for the team and stay with Farage or Trump.

Easy Jim lad, that's like 3T picking Diane Abbott.

At least you left Boris for Diddly.

Lockdown is too long to go for sex or superficials - so I’ll take either John Peel (for the music and chat) or Terry Pratchett (one of the genuinely nicest and most interesting people I’ve ever met).

[sunny-dave]

At least with DA the days would whizz by 1, 2, 3, 48, eleventy three - soon be over ...

[shoota]

That is a nice idea Jim, I'll go with this lass (her name has nothing to do with my decision...)

[Mozz71]

That's true. As is what you said about Sir Terry. I met him a couple of times and he was a genuinely lovely, humble guy. (As is Robert Rankin, but with an even larger amount of crazy.)

[Barsel]

Does the person have to still be alive?

[thesshhh]

No

[Mozz71]

I guess not, taking Dave's answers into account (also David Niven).

[Mamyalynne]

Bob Mortimer.

[Arksided]

I think the rules have changed a bit since the post started, so you'll be quite safe I'm sure.

[Mozz71]

I think it we're adding those no longer with us into the equation, Spike Milligan would be my chpice, although I can't see him staying isolated for long without going stir crazy.

[thesshhh]

But you find conversation limited

[Arksided]

I think most would be a bit miffed at looking not so good after being ressurected.

[lady-janine]

I would like to have more than one please. Yes, greedy I know but want to do this lockdown with style. So, John Humphrys for conversation and keeping my mind going and Giuseppe di Stefano for beautiful music (he can bring along Maria Callas if he wants.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Prince Charles and his valet. I think Charles is an all round decent chap who would be very interesting to talk to would have the strength of character to not become 'theatrical' after a few weeks in isolation.. His valet can clean my house and make the dinners.

[lady-janine]

What a good idea APG. Can I borrow the valet for a short while?

[AuntPollyGrey]

Sorry Lady Janine, you may be a member of the landed gentry but self-isolation rules and all that...sorry......I'll ask Charles if he has a spare footman he can send over if that would help :-)

LJ // Giuseppe di Stefano//
Wow, that's a blast from the past.I remember seeing him the film Canto per te in the early fifties.
