Choose your 5 who haven’t already been on the show

  • My mainstream five and the reasons I’ve picked them:

    • BRIAN BLESSED (frankly, I believe he should be in everything)
    • Craig Charles (he’s very funny and witty, plus he should be in more stuff IMHO)
    • Jeremy Clarkson (he’d cock everything up and be good comic relief)
    • Joanna Lumley (she gives off the air that she’s down for anything, and she was amazing in The Goodies’ Audible pilot)
    • Richard Ayoade (he seems an extremely good fit for the show, and reportedly wants to do it, he’s just in such high demand nowadays which is a good thing)

    Sue Perkins was formerly one of my five, but she’s going to be in Series 16. :)

    I also have a far-less-mainstream five: Tom Scott, Chris Joel, Gary Brannan, Matt Gray, Will Seaward. #MysteryBiscuits

      I would definitely enjoy a Technical Difficulties TM series. My dream would be David Mitchell for the exact reason he’d never do it.

      Edit: Also, Brian Blessed is 86! I know he’s Brian Blessed, but I still don’t think it’s a great idea to have an 86 year old doing some tasks. I felt really concerned at some points for Jenny Eclair in the last series and she’s only 63

      Individually some good picks, but collectively they’d all be awful at any physical tasks since most of them are over a gazillion and the other one is Richard Ayoade.

          Fair, fair. But even with Horne’s task-setting, Jeremy and Brian would try to solve every task by shouting. Craig would try and Scouse his way through every task. Richard would try and sarcastic his way through every task. And Joanna would win every task because she’d secretly have the Gurkhas on her side.
