I normally would have to know someone before I could say I liked them. I don't think you can really know whether someone is as nice as they seem on screen unless you know them well off it. I appreciate some of you do and that is fair enough.
However, having said that, I do have a soft spot for Owain Wyn Evans.

I could go on ……….

Susan Calman just love her enthusiasm and how lovely she is to folk She's warm funny and Scottish what's not to like?

Michael Palin and Bill Bryson.

No clue who 'Angel' is!

Mary Beard - clever and witty
Paul Merton - because he's naturally funny
Aidan Turner - easy on the eye
Ian Hislop - because he's not afraid to challenge the status quo

. I just love Owain the weather guy , he’s so funny and warm
Love Pauli Grady with the dogs. He comes over as so compassionate, love Monty Don and his calmimg voice,
Carol Kirkwood very natural beauty , l
Jane Mc Donald , and all the Repair shop team

Ruth Davidson, would like to see her running the country. Joan Collins. My first thought was Clarkson, already mentioned. Julian Clary. Lewis Hamilton.

Susan Calman and Sandi Toksvig. I’ve met both and they are just as friendly and funny as they appear on TV.

I agree with Fanny!

Notright, I haven’t really seen much of PM since he was a judge on BGT. I did read his book Wake Up, which made some really good points, so I suppose that might count as ‘liking’.

Don't think anyone's mentioned David Tennant. Adorable!
Agree Michael Sheen, Michael Ball, Ben Shephard.
Steven Mulhern
Brad Pitt

Well this is going to upset everybody. I really go for Piers Morgan. Sorry!!

Bradley Walsh, Ben Shepherd, Martin Clune, Sally (the weather girl on ITV, can't remember her surname), Dawn French

Michael Ball

I've always had a soft spot for Derek Jacobi, I met him some years ago and he really did strike me as a warm, unassuming, nice man.
Others;
Ian McKellen.
Stephen Graham
Paul O'Grady.
Joanna Lumley.
Trevor Mcdonald.

Alan Davies For me, whether he is acting or on chat or entertainment shows - he always comes across as a lovely man.

Martin Clunes has to be my favourite.
All the gardeners in garden programmes, but Monty is best.
Hugh Grant I cant miss out

Is it usual for jockeys to commit suicide as there seems to be quite a few that do? or develop addictions that lead to death? or maybe I have just read very depressing stories regarding jockeys!

With jockeys it seems to result from head injuries (eg Walter Swinburne) but with trainers it’s probably financial problems. And, as I mentioned, they do get a lot of abuse on social media. There’s a lot of fundraising going on in Liams name for a head injury charity. Also, as with other sports, someone needs to be ready mentally to leave their chosen sport: when it’s thrust upon them suddenly they find it difficult to cope with. Richard Dunwoody coped with it by doing lots of expeditions and charity work.

I adored George Michael from my teens, his voice, looks & after his death finding out how really kind soul he really was.
I'm another fan of Paul O'Grady cos of his love of animals.
Marti Pellow, that cheeky smile
George Clark who can come and sort my house out anytime
Jamie & Harry Redknapp have a great relationship and love them together. Jamie's not bad looking either....

Have we all forgotten Rick Stein and Michael Portillo?

Simon Reeve
Carol Kirkwood, who makes the weather seem better even though it's not.
Bettany Hughes, who makes history interesting.

Victoria Coren-Mitchell
Dan Snow
Adjoa Andoh and her amazing voice
Another vote for Mary Beard
Stuart Maconie
Meera Syal

MayBee No I'm not suggesting Clare's comment contributed to his death. He was obviously very troubled as you say. The coroner recorded misadventure, not suicide I believe.

Bill Bryson. I wrote a letter to him to tell him that the 99 year old blind war veteran I was reading his book "Notes from a small Island" to had laughed for the first time in ages. Mr Bryson wrote a lovely letter back saying how happy he was to hear that.

Alan Alda. I saw him in a play on Broadway once and although I was disappointed that he never gives autographs after performances, I admire the way he has worked so hard to improve communication between scientists/ medical folk and the general public.
