Best 10 Downing Street resident?
I can't decide between Dennis Thatcher and Humphrey the Cat.

But at least he got shot in the head.

Incidentally, I wrote to the BBC and asked whether they were really considering besmirching Doctor Who with Blair. The programme controller wrote a nice email back and said certainly not, no plans, etc.

So expect to see him as the new Master in the autumn...

Yes - the well thought out plan to "slice through the underbelly of Europe" by sailing through some heaving armed clifftops, and then setting up camp on the beach before marching slowly towards the guns in a line waving a swagger stick.

The Australian cricket team always stop off at Gallipoli on their way over to the UK for the Ashes.

OTOH, it's a great film.

Churchill may have been our greatest asset in WW2, but the quote they gave me for my car insurance was just ridiculous. Went with Admiral.

Churchill - my g/father detests the man. He fought with the RAF for pretty much the entire war, so I guess he has his reasons.

Winston was very unpopular post war. A good leader but not a good politician. Probably too honest.

Wasn't quite sure of the dates although I knew about the 2nd spell.

I liked old Alec Douglas-Home. He did bugger all that I can recall, best sort of PM there is.

I'll also suggest 1855-1858 and 1859-1865.

Surely you mean 2007- . Suggest he's less than perfect and you'll soon find SO13 on your doorstep.
