Frobester Oct 2011 4:42pm, 19 Oct 2011 17,015 posts	0 Frobester I'm assuming he's been mentioned before, but if not, how's about Ricky Gervais. I don't really get his recent descent into Bernard Manningesque humour. Or his inability to respond in a grownup fashion to crticicism from other comedians, beyond "you're all shit and jealous of my awards".

GregP Jan 2012 1:03pm, 20 Jan 2012 56,459 posts	0 GregP Had to think about it, but yes. Not sure why the binsy berk popped into my brain earlier, but he did. Positive review for the new series of Room 101 in the paper. Alas, it is a tv show and not available as a podcast.

Regular listeners of FT will know about this one. What national 'treasure' do you feel would be better on a skip rather than on a pedestal?

Someone (an MK Dons supporter) proposed AFC Wimbledon, about whom everyone gets misty eyed but he hated.

Other nominations included Bruce Forsyth and Seb Coe.

We were discussing this on the Rugby Wire (whch unforgivably is *not* called "y wifren rygbi ") as Martin Johnson was nominated.

It was suggested that a wider audience might enjoy the challenge.
