Who is your ideal bench mate? | Open thread

The voice of a celebrity will soon instruct you about the view from selected benches across National Trust properties

The National Trust has plans to engage more people with areas of natural beauty by enlisting eight famous names to act as "bench mates". Specially constructed benches, dotted around various National Trust sites, will feature the recorded musings of celebrities on the view. Visitors to Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk will be able to sit with Stephen Fry and the voice of Miranda Hart will entertain those at Cragside gardens in Northumberland.

But who would you like to sit with as you take in an area of outstanding natural beauty? Would it be a famous name, a family member or someone more obscure ? and what would you like them to tell you? Or is silence the only suitable sound in such moments?
