Musing … If You Could Have A Dinner Date With Anyone In The Media….

[naomi24]

….who would you choose and why?

For me, at the moment, Michael Portillo (I’ve been watching his continental rail journeys and he strikes me as a man of culture), or the BBC’s security correspondent, Frank Gardner (so interesting and I love his voice - but I’d be fighting agchristie for him).

sir Trevor !

[naomi24]

Why?

[-Talbot-]

Gloria Hunniford.

[naomi24]

Why?

[murraymints]

Trev is so interesting..and just love listening to him talk !!

[-Talbot-]

To ask her if she has ever met Andrew Hughes mainly.

[naomi24]

I can agree with that.

[naomi24]

-Talbot-, sorry, cross-posted. That^ was to Murraymints - but I get your drift. :o)

At the moment I'd choose Jo Brand, such a complex and clever lady - she'd be great dinner party company.

Not a date in the romantic sense, I'll have a think on that one being smitten at the moment.

[ChillDoubt]

Believe it or not (besides the obvious, Susanna Reid) I've always had a thing for Caroline Wyatt, who very sadly was diagnosed with MS earlier this year, bless her, ironically on my birthday. Intelligent, well - travelled and listed sitting at home with a bottle of red as one of her favourite pastimes.

[woofgang]

oh any of the antiques experts of antiques roadshow....so clever and funny

[ChillDoubt]

Besides her, I'd love to wake up to the sound of Carol Kirkwood making me a bacon butty for breakfast!

[naomi24]

Mamyalynne, //Not a date in the romantic sense//

I should have added that. It didn't occur to me. Take note all .. not a date in the romantic sense.

Naomi, I wonder if FG had us in mind when titling his latest book!!

My alternative choice is Jeremy Paxman as I would like to discover his off-screen persona i.e is he like a dog with a bone?

Michael Portillo comes across completely different in personality than when he was an MP.His suave,easy style is quite warming when you see him doing his choo-choo progs and even when he is talking politics with Andrew Neil (we won't discuss that Abbot woman though!! o:)

[Ann]

Agree Naomi - MP sounds a very interesting, polite and knowledgable man. We love watching his Railway Journeys programmes too.

[ChillDoubt]

Ah right........in that case, Stephen Fry or Brian Cox.

[Ann]

Wonder if anyone could bear a dinner date with Robert Peston haha ;)

[Ann]

WEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL ...................:)

[naomi24]

ag, yes, I'll add Jeremy Paxman to my list - and if he's like a dog with a bone, bring it on! (Although I'd probably agree with him - so a boneless meal).

[naomi24]

ChillDoubt, Oooooo, Stephen Fry and Brian Cox!! This dinner date is turning into a party!
