I vote Sir Raymond Winstone for the £50 note.

Rick Mayall mentioned above was a good one. How about Steve Strange? Sadly departed, the prince of the new romantics!
The Bank of England has published a list of those people nominated by the public to be shown on the next £20 note.
As the nominations were for visual artists (such as painters, sculptors, photographers, costume designers and film directors) the list excludes those outside the areas of visual arts.
It's a long list and is in alphabetical order by people's first names rather than surnames

Of people mentioned above, Alfred Hitchcock is in the list. I haven't checked if any of the others have.
The committee will start considering a shortlist in September.
I did nominate Michael Powell the film director of films such as A Matter of Life and Death and The Red Shoes and he is in the list.

The Bank of England has now announced that the next £20 note will show the artist J M W Turner with his panting The Fighting Temeraire,
