[Misc] National Treasures?

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Just been watching Stephen Fry on the box. Never been a big fan but warming to him a bit. It occurred to me that he is one of those celebs who transcend mere celeb-ness and achieve National Treasure status.
Given that this quality is impossible to define, I reckon it's in the eye of the beholder.

So any nominations please? Or alternatively please also include national treasures who you can't stand...........

...........and therefore I'll kick -off with Sir L Henry, star of the cheap hotel chain advert voiceover,

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

David Attenborough - he’s irreplaceable

I hold no brief for Jamie Oliver but I don't think you know what mockney means. He may be many things but he's from Essex and has an Essex accent.

I also don't understand the antipathy towards Lenny Henry. I found him spectacularly unfunny as a comedian but there are many other comedians who fit the bill there.

This.

Nature programmes will just sound WRONG with any other narrator when the time comes.

Emma Thompson - completely lost in Luvvieland. Co-incidentally (or perhaps not) a long-time collaborator with Stephen Fry.

Dames Judy Dench & Maggie Smith

Perhaps [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] could change his name, as per Mike Dean!

 

[Brovion]

Sorry, I'm confused. Are we listing people we think should be National Treasures, or those who are but shouldn't be?

Noel Edmonds ... but which category?
