Well

It's meant to be a "Top Five" thing

Colin Morgan....A brilliant diverse actor/human being (eye candy for the two below)
Stephen Fry....Intelligent/funny/diverse
Julian Clary....Funny/ gets on with Stephen Fry....entertaining!
Sigourney Weaver....female crush/would easily hold her own (especially with me by her side)
Tony Hart....creative, gentle ...easily respected by all the above

And your reasons why if you want to say

Forgot Eric Morecombe 

Kenny Everett … although I don’t know that I could keep up with how his brain worked!
Terry Wogan … just, of course!
Victoria Wood … she could have been my very best friend, if only I had ever met her!
Val Doonigan … I don’t want to talk to him, I just want him to sit in that rocking chair and sing to me!
Madeliene McAnn … I’d love to get to the bottom of that complete mystery

Fascinating choices Rexi - I like the idea of believing you could have been someone's friend if only you had met.

I'd like to think that of several people - Brian Cant, Terry-Thomas, Hattie Jacques, Freddie Mercury, Janis Joplin

Rick Wakeman…..great raconteur

The Rev……ditto

Jon Bon Jovi……just to ogle

Pam Ayres……funny

Neil Oliver…….long term crush
