Sheenamf - Charlotte Green is a newsreader and continuity announcer on Radio Four - soon to retire as the budget cuts bite.

If any woman can be said to have the perfect voice - it's Charlotte.

.....oh, and John Noakes

[joggerjayne]

Kate Moss

What about Trevor McDonut? He must qualify.

[Hopkirk]

No way, JJ

[askyourgran]

who Brian Cant?

[Maydup]

Has anyone suggested the Queen?

And how about Boris?!

[237SJ]

Vivienne Westwood? Ancient and mad as a hatter. Perfect criteria.

[ladybirder]

Agree andy, but is she well known enough to be a NT?

[thenry]

Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney, JFK, Elvis Presley, Bill Gates, Mohammed Ali, Jack Nicholson ........,.. (You guys got any ? )

[237SJ]

Thenry - what about Wolf Blitzer, Larry King, Martha Steward, Barbara Walters and that weather guy Flip Spiceland? With a name like that, he deserves to be a national (US) treasure.

John Lydon.

[ladybirder]

Dr Brian Cox?

[Hopkirk]

You don't know Brian Cant? Oh come on!
