Who would YOU like to become a guest panelist or a semi-regular on JAM?

The one constant that keeps Just a Minute fresh and relevant in the
world of entertainment has to be the revolving door of talent that
comes and goes over the years. Although some have been more
successful than others, it is still without a doubt fascinating
whenever someone new comes onto the show, because you long to hear
more of them as they interact with the more seasoned veterans.

Now, I raise this particular topic and put to you guys as a genuine
query as to who YOU would like to come on to the show?

For my money, I'd love to hear Jon Culshaw from 'Dead Ringers'. he's
a brilliant impersonator, and I remember hearing him on 'Wireless
Wise', and his overall laid back attitude, in the sense of being an
apt improvisor, knowing how to play for laughs, would make him a
perfect fit on the show. Plus, I can't deny that it would be great
hearing him do his Tom Baker/4th Doctor voice while speaking on a
subject.

the only other recent professional impressionist that appeared on the
show was Alistair McGowen, and he was complete rubbish at the game,
not to mention he didn't do any impersonations at all. Before him
was Janet Brown, but she was too much of a one trick pony for my
taste. plus, there's only so much of her normal voice you could take
before wanting to punch a wall.

someone else I'd love to hear on the show would be perhaps an actor
or actress, someone who isn't a standup comedian. I know the few
times that has happened have been rather mixed, but that's not to say
that it can't work.

It would also be nice to hear some more Whose Line alumni appear on
the series, like John Sessions or perhaps even Clive Anderson.

What about the rest of you guys? Any suggestions?
