Can we make a LIST OF TEN?

I'd like to propose . . . . Joanna Lumley 

Difficult Renton ....I’ll think on 

David Attenborough 

Ruth Jones?

As i had to Google her and she's not really a life long adored actress it may be a 'no'

Hello Roxan  nice to see you

So far - this is exciting    we have

1 Joanna Lumley

2 Davis Attenborough 

3 BIGGINS  - if thats ok

 . . . and not Ruth Jones - cos i don't know much about her and that's that!!

Biggins? Ermmmmm. No. Full stop. No.

I’ll give it some thought ...

Biggins ....not for me I’m afraid

Oh. I know. Emma Willis. Not for Big Brother, or any other TV show ... but for the M&S Christmas ads. I fell a little bit in love with her!!

Gordon Buchanan ....wildlife photographer 

David Jason

David Attenborough

(goes off to think who is still alive that I treasure)

I am struggling to think of someone ( but a no to biggins and soap actors who have only starred in a soap opera)  

My mind keeps coming up with one name, which is making me smile at myself...

and the name is............ME!

what you like

I think a National Treasure must be instantly recognisable by the general public.

David Jason - great idea 

Why not Biggins?

Gordon Buchanan ....wildlife photographer 

Dunno him ... so can he qualify?

Defo not Emma Willis!

How's about Jimmy Tarbuck?

To 'Panto' and gets on my nerves.

I agree with Gordon Buchanan and David Jason.

Can we do posthumous ones - then I could nominate the wonderful and much missed Victoria Wood. 

Okay then, no to Emma Willis. 

Obviously Syd gets my vote, as does .....

oh, I don’t know, still thinking ...

I was pondering that but it's very easy to give posthumous awards - we could go back a long way

So hope everyone is ok with the living?

Is Gordon Buchanan well known enough, do you think?

  not helping us ?

Stephen Fry !!!!    

Jezza Corbyn!  We don't want him as our PM (for insane reasons) so can't we have him as a national treasure for being a magic grandpa and a really nice guy?

Posthumously, Rick Mayle, George Micheal both good guys

Danny Dyer - for being a top cocknee geeza 

Queen's Brian May - for speaking out for environmental issues and against injustices.

Girl called Jack [Monroe], for being a down to Earth single mother who became famous for her recipes on a shoestring, an outspoken voice against poverty

Prof Brian Cox for being able to articulate complex scientific theories so the layman can understand.

Joanna Lumley pushed the stupid Thames Garden Bridge, costing London taxpayers millions for nothing in return.  No thanks!

Emma Willis for being sophisticated looking, sexy and having a potty mouth!

Carny - National Treasure is someone people in general take to their hearts.

Corbyn was squashed - by the people.

Here's one . . . .
