I mean the "who would you invite to a fantasy dinner party, if you could invite anyone living or dead" thing, not anything else. Strictly PG or at the most 12A ratings here folks   .
So go on then, who? And what would you serve? There's a limit of 7 people other than yourself, as I reckon 8 is the maximum really workable number for a dinner party, but no limit on the number of courses.

Ditto BS's comment. I'll start working on it. Initial thoughts would be lots of gorgeous men, Pitt, clooney, depp etc, but that's just being greedy…need some conversation too, can't just sit there drooling all night.
Think Jeremy clarkson would be a good one for some interesting debates, would also fancy it being one of the Heston blumenthal fantasy dinners – with all the weird and wonderful concoctions he makes, not sure what the theme would be yet.
Mo Mowlam, now she was a character, she might be included – dont agree with her politics but she had a certain life force that was hard to beat.
Will think about it all day tomorrow while gardening.

I still like the clip from Spitting Image of Maggie Thatcher sitting at dinner -
"Are you ready to order?"
"Yes, I'll have steak."
"What about the vegetables?"
"Oh, they'll have the same as me!!"
(The clip is not very good quality – but you get the drift!)

Hmm, I think it depends on the kind of party you are in the mood for….
Old Hollywood?
Gene Kelly, Fred Astare, Vera-Ellen, Bing Crosby, Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Rosalyn Russel….
Literary?
Terry Pratchett, Mercedes Lackey, Douglas Adams, Anne McCaffrey, Louisa May Alcott, J. M. Barrie,
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, Charlotte Bronte….
Political?
Thomas and Martha Jefferson, John and Abigail Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Marquis de La Fayette, Betsy Ross, Anne Trotter Bailey….

It is a tough question. I've been mulling it over for quite a while, and I've yet to decide on my final 6 or 7 guests.
I'm not even sure yet if I'd have to include Sam. I have dinner with Sam most evenings, so it almost feels like a waste of a guest. Also I don't know how much he'd actually want to have dinner with the others on the list.
And I really have no idea about the food.
The few dead certs for the list so far are my dad (obviously), John Cusack (because he's as intelligent as he is gorgeous), and Spike Milligan (as long as he's in a good mood).
I can't remember whether or not Milligan became a veggie though. He got all eco in his later life as I recall.
Robert Rankin would probably get an invitation, and at the moment I'm thinking Alan Coren, but that could just be because I'm reading a compliation of his articles and short stories.
But then I feel like I probably ought to invite some women. Maybe Hillary Clinton and Jane Austen.
Then again maybe I should invite Dr Pamela Stephenson-Connelly or Carol Vorderman for my dad to flirt with.
And then again, again, I'm sure he'd love to be sat next to Fred Dibnah, and I must say I think Guy Martin (modern day motorbike racing Dibnah equivalent, excellt series on BBC one at the moment, the boat thast Guy built. You should watch it) would be excellent company.

I would send out invites to you lot and see who wants to come, just for the sheer curiosity of getting to know some of you better. What a cop out
