I don’t know if this has been done before, but as it’s David Attenborough’s 100th birthday today, who else do you consider to have this overused title? After Sir David, who I imagine is most people’s number one, I would say Michael Palin, Judy Dench and possibly controversially Joanna Lumley. I’ll probably think of more but they would be my top four.

Alan Bennett, though I’m sure he would absolutely hate to be thought of as such!

Certainly overused. Sir David is the only one that I can think of who really deserves this title.

Nobody. I think it's a horrible title to bestow upon a human being. The words always make me think of a dusty old vase on a plinth in a museum or a dark, impentrable oil painting on a gallery wall.

Couldn’t agree more Scribbles.
