[anotheoldgit]

Micheal Parkinson is soon to quit his chat show. If you could pick 4 people living and 4 people who are no longer with us, for Micheal to interview, who would they be?

The living ones are the hardest who hasn't he interviewed?

Duke of Edinburgh, Richard Branson, Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood.

Douglas Bader, Field Marshall Montgomery, Frankie Laine, Humphrey Bogart.

Dead - Jesus Christ, elvis Presely, Henry VII and King Arthur.

I'm not sure why Elvis68 would want Parkie to interview Churchill. He was a notoriously boring speaker in the House of Commons - I doubt that he'd provide 'laugh a minute' entertainment ;-)

Dead: Alan Coren (one of the wittiest Britons of recent years), P G Wodehouse (for some serious conversation addressing his alleged Nazi sympathies plus some moments of humour), Sid James (to explore his connections with the East End crime gangs plus plenty of humour) and Peter Jones (the actor, not the businessman - a natural raconteur).

Living: Even though I'm a republican, I have to agree with Elvis68 that the Queen might make a good interviewee - but only if she'd been treated to plenty of (alcoholic) 'hospitality' first, so that she'd 'drop her guard' when questioned ;-) Also Adrian Chiles (intelligent and witty - although, given that he's half Croatian, he might not be living much longer if certain England fans get hold of him!), John Sergeant (an intelligent and witty raconteur) and John Sessions (one of our most talented actors).

Living: Princess Eugene; Iain banks; Anthony Cotton; Sinead O'Connor

dead: John Wayne; Robert Mitchum: Lee Marvin; Steve McQueen.

[osprey]

Living: Steven Speilberg, Stephen Hawking, Jack Nicklaus & Sir David Attenborough ( I know he has interviewed him before but the man is such a living legend and a brilliant speaker that he HAS to be included).

Dead: Jesus, Charlie Chaplin, William Shakespeare & Abraham Lincoln.

What fantastic selections,

Rod Hull? not sure Parkie would go through that again.

I. Do No's Grandfather, what a lovely sentiment, who would not like to see a late relative once again?

Winston Churchill, Buenchico (Chris) I cannot understand why you think good old Winnie would not make for a good interviewee.

I don't think one can judge him on his rather somber public speaking. He would have been able to draw on his wide source of experiences, from the Boar War to WW2 and behond. He was also a great wit, judging by some of his great quotes that have gone down in the annals of history.

John Sergeant (an intelligent and witty raconteur)

I agree, but only if he could appear alongside Jo Brand. The reason for this is because I am convinced that they are one of the same. I think Jo Brand is John Sergeant in drag.

Princess Eugene? I am intrigued by this choice Dot. Why this Princess?

Charlie Chaplin? Most say he was highly overated and not very funny. Much prefer Laurel & Hardy myself.

Aggree with you about John Sargeant & Jo Brand, I've thought that for a long time !
