I've thought long and hard about this but couldn't come up with anyone more than David Attenborough, Oliver Reed and Lee Mack. There are a few good responses that others have posted (and more than a few that leave me with absolute chills) but there's no point nicking others ideas. I've therefore decided that my 'dinner' party will be me, my mates, an endless supply of cheese and onion toasties and enough real ale to float the Ark Royal. All these famous types can bugger off, if they've want interesting conversations they can have them with the press. We're making our own entertainment.
Really enjoyed this thread. After making my choice and reading others, I could probably make several lists. Certainly would add Dolly Parton and Peter Usinov. Interestingly (or not) for a few years before the dreaded covid hit us, we entertained sixteen friends on new years eve for dinner. We tasked our guests with questions, stating their choice of two people they would most wish to have at a dinner party. One person included Jesus Christ another Jeremy Corbin!! We also asked what would you eat for your last meal. Good answers there. Another question was your favorite destination. Many varied and interesting destinations but probably the most curious answer was Jaywick. Apparently it was where they went for his honeymoon 55 years ago!!!
They’re. (Bloody know-alls!) Guests of that calibre are highly unlikely to let you know what they’re really like; that’s how they get people to vote for them (not Farage obvs). :-)

Oh no sorry, that's my nightmare dinner party.
I think @stig has the right idea tbh except for the Oliver Reed suggestion! Frightening being around such horrible, aggressive drinkers.
