Hmm … how about the King of the United Kingdom?

David Attenborough

Sir David Attenborough

Someone that is so fascinated and passionate about our planet and all creatures that live on it, I feel that would be a good representative.

It has to be him. I couldn't name a more universally beloved choice

Richard Madeley.

Hear me out: his best years are behind him but he's desperately clinging to some sort of relevance in a world that barely even knows he exists any more.

Seems absolutely convinced of his own talent despite appearing to not actually have any.

Is abrasive and often winds people up the wrong way.

But he's also not afraid to make fun of himself and seems to not really take himself too seriously.

Rik Mayall if he was still alive.

I feel Jeremy Clarkson is a fairly honest representation of the typical Briton.

David Attenborough if you want the best of Britain.

GAS MAN! GAS MAN! GAS MAN!

I guess Clarkson would be better than Jimmy Saville.

James Blunt. Combo of talent, humour and massive self depreciation, truly one of us.

Joe lycett, legend.

Hannah Fry. Beautiful, intelligent, well spoken, thoroughly British, did i mention she's beautiful? She can speak to large crowds, is funny, commands respect, young enough to not be considered old and is also beautiful.

I don't like the guy, but I love your subtle destruction of him so you get my vote.

More a subtle destruction of the UK but 🤷‍♀️

Michael Palin.

The man's been everywhere and can still be incredibly intelligent & engaging while there's always a disarming aura - and if that don't work, his sense of humour will get you every time.

Professor Brian Cox

Canadian here. I always think of Mr. Bean.

Sean Lock RIP

Stephen Fry!

Alexi Sayle

Mr Blobby

Mr Bean.

Not because he's funny (what happened to him after Black adder??) but because he's 100% British IMO.

Brian Cox

Mr Blobby

Who?

Paul McCartney.

I'd prefer Baldric.

Rik Mayal as Lord Flash heart.

Olivia Colman. Everything she's in is better for having her. She even made car insurance ads good back in the day as the lovely Bev. Loads of successes, but she still seems to have that air of fragility about her, that it could all come crashing down at any moment...

A bit meta tbh, he is a celebrity because he is the dude who represents/holds all authority in the UK

Finally, someone getting the joke!
