Dinner party guests? What four people would you have?

[moehat]

Alan Lear [he was a Scottish writer; wrote for Dr Who, amongst other things; he died last year..I’m proud and honoured to have known him and miss him like hell]; Orson Welles [his hero]; Patrick Troughton [his favourite Dr Who] and Charles Dickens

.

Adoptive father of two. The patron saint of lower-grade fare. A gently critical friend of point-to-pointing. Kindness is a political act.

Didn’t get Dickens?

My literary hero. I have read/own all his novels and still marvel at his superlative prose, wit and excellent charaterisations. I challenge anyone to read the first few chapters of The Pickwick Papers and not laugh out loud at least once. The man was a genius.

Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning

It was the one thing we didn’t agree on; me and Charles would have to fight our corner at the dinner table. I’m surprised that the BBC haven’t done Pickwick Papers [at least not for a long long time]. With the current trend for things like Cranford and Lark Rise

, the humour in Pickwick would go down quite well [although they’d probably use Gryff Rhys Jones et al and ruin it, to cash in on the success[?] of Three Men in a Boat].

Keith Moon, Ollie Reed, Iggy Pop and Megan Fox.

I’d grab a take’a’way from my favourite Turkish restaurant – we’d eat, chat and then hit the town until, say, 4.00am.

I’d then hail Megan a cab, stuff a score down her bra and send her home before resuming the debauchery at the Fox & Anchor early house on the Smithfield meat market.

As soon as the Old Bailey (round the corner) opened for business, we’d browse the public galleries and dance and sing in the corridors. I’d then get dragged to a house of ill repute and disgrace myself further.

Who would your four LEAST welcome guests be?

[Cav]

George Bush
Dick Cheney
Donald Rumsfeld
John Bolton

I’d be sick.

[Gerald]

Don’t know about the other three, bit Da(i)ra O’Briain. I absolutely hate the evil man.

[Pompete]

Clarkson

– or anybody that likes Top Gear – boring wankers.

CJ

(from Eggheads) – If he rolled his eyes at me I’d have to repeatedly hit him with a housebrick or the Mother-in-Laws coconut cake.

Stephen Fry

– or any other ‘clever’ comedian.

Martin Lewis

– If he started going on about changing banks to get a free fiver every two years or something I’d do the ‘Dance of the Flaming Assholes’ with a lit Fifty.

[stilvi]

Very difficult to narrow this down from a choice of millions:-

Clarkson as the figurehead of GB petrolheads
Simon Cowell
Cheryl Cole
Davina McCall

[aaronizneez]

Ricky Gervais
Ruby Wax
Russell Brand
Naomi Campbell

Vlad the Impaler and Hannibal Lecter would wait the table

[Onthesteal]

Not enough thought gone into these so far…

Gary Neville – Pure evil

Jeremy Kyle – Go on, shout at

me

– I fooking dare
you.

Joe Pasquale – I’d replace his voice-box with a ripped in half coca-cola tin.

There, there Joseph

…

Katie Price – too easy, I know.

[clivexx]

Id agree with many of the above. Nevile (a nasty piece of work..cocky too) Clarkson and Brand too> Campbell is just vile. good choice

Harriet Harman (obvious)

Seamus milne (nasty public schoolboy left winger who is pro terrorism)

Vic reeves (funny as cancer but doesnt know it)

robbie Savage (thick and big headed…god only knows hows hes got a media job)

the odd thing is sometimes these people are not so bad in real life and yet ones you think you quite like are complete …

so its all guesswork

[Drone]

Cyanide in the sherry aperitif for:

George W Bush
Tracey Emin
Jonathan Ross
Chris Moyles

goodnight and goodbye…

…and a slap up dinner for one

Good choices y’all except for Fry and Reeves

Wot no Blair

[wallace-no7]

Katie Price (disgusting woman)
Dick Cheney(right wing bible loving freak)
Any Bishop In Ireland (Child porn ring)
Charlie Mann (Most arrogant trainer in the world and he can’t even train)

[Grasshopper]

Richard Hammond

– chummy, matey, blokey, zany, car-loving, stupid-haired, midget, fawning, rocket-crashing, horrible ****.

Jeremy Clarkson

– boorish, reactionary, bubble-permed, carbon-burning, jeans-n-jacket-faced uberchugger.

Alex Salmond

– fat-necked, neep-munching, superior, smirking, myopic, plastic kiltie ar*sehole.

Russell Howard

– Squinty, unfunny, carrot-crunching, bandy, moppish, goofy ring-piece.

[Miss Woodford]

Dick Cheney
Fred Phelps
Bill O’Reilly
Rush Limbaugh
