Proper National Treasures 05:37 - Oct 7 with 8354 viewsThe_Romford_Blue

Was just thinking the other day when John Challis died (RIP) how David Jason is probably one of the biggest nationals treasure in Britain and it got me thinking who else would be on this list of say 10 people.

I’ve got these so far on my imaginary list:
- Sir David Jason
- Sir David Attenborough
- Sir Elton John
- Dame Helen Mirren
- Dame Judi Dench
- Dame Maggie Smith


And then on the ‘potentials’ list that didn’t quite make the cut but probably worth consideration:
- Ant and Dec
- Sir Tom Jones
- Colin Firth
- Sir Paul McCartney
- Stephen Fry
- Mary Berry
- David Lloyd (AKA Bumble)


Who else do we reckon is a genuine national treasure?

For what it’s worth, my opinion is that a national treasure has to be known by at least 85% of the country AND almost everyone has to like them.

I know nobody that dislikes Sir David Attenborough for example. However, there’s definitely people that don’t like Sir Steve Redgrave.


As a completely irrelevant side story, I also vaguely remember hearing once where Redgrave refused to do an after dinners speech he’d been paid for because the bloke announcing him referred to him as ‘Steve Redgrave’. For a good 15 minutes he refused to go up and talk until eventually the announcer guy came back to apologise and let everyone know Steve was now a Sir. Have disliked him ever since hearing that little anecdote for being so up himself.

Bob Mortimer.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.
