I used to think having some non-comedians, in the spirit of people like
Patrick Moore and Magnus Pyke would be good. But I now think the
programme has changed so much in the Paul Merton era that having people
who couldn't vaguely keep up with him on the quips wouldn't work.

Lenny Henry and Andy Hamilton I've mentioned before. I agree with Bobby
about Clive Anderson and John Sessions. Others that come to mind for
me - Bruce Forsyth, Barry Humphries (maybe as Dame Edna Everage?), Meera
Syal, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Jonathan Ross, Ant and/or Dec? Rory Bremner,
Griff Rhys-Jones

Alan Davies would be sensationally good, I think. The guys from Little
Britain.

One guy who I think is very funny when talking ad lib, but obviously
more of an actor than a comedian is Ralf Little.
