Challenge of the day #3 (3 April) - 5 dream dinner party guests

And if I could squeeze in one extra guest, it would be Jo Brand

Miriam Margolyes, Trevor Phillips, Chrissie Hynde, Will.I.Am and Billy Connolly. All thoughtful, talented, hugely creative people. I'd be happy to feed them and listen, maybe ask an occasional question. I became a granny six weeks ago and have just joined the forum – this is my first post, prompted by this challenge. Coincidentally, I started a fantasy dinner party guest list a couple of weeks ago and had chosen the first four already, adding Billy Connolly just now because, to me, he's the funniest person in the world.

Peter Ustinov- great raconteur

Germaine Greer- always gets everyone going

Alan Rickman for me to gaze at and hear his wonderful voice

Marco Pierre White - he could help me in the kitchen etc!

I’d like to dine with Jo Brand, Jonathan Ross, Steve Cougan, Susan Calman and Monty Don. I think there would be lively conversation, humour and wit. Do you think they would turn up if I invited them?

Freddie Mercury, The Princess of Wales, Jane Austen, my Grandmother ( I was 8 when she died and I want to know stuff!) and finally Billy Keane the Irish columnist and author.

My choice would be , Monty Don for advice about gardening, San die tocksvig for her wit and humour, the queen for her calming influence she's seen it all before, Freddie mercury for entertainment and Tina Turner to do a duet with Freddie. A mad party or what
