Keith Barron. After that Giles Brandreth. The important thing to me is that they should make me laugh - I am not so impressed by stories about having once shaken the hand of the Duke of Edinburgh, or dubious lodgings provided for retired actors, etc.
Paul Zenon and Richard Digance are my favourites. Although I dont mind which DC guest it is really as long as they have something interesting/humourous/witty/non-self-indulgent to say, or a good poem.
Phil Hammond and Paul Zenon are the only ones I look forward to. As Michael said in the mirror thread, I doubt I'm in the target demographic for most of them.
Richard Digance is bottom of my list, close to Anne Widdecombe and Melvyn Hayes.
I am not sure if Richard Digance appears more often than everybody else, or whether it just seems that way to me.
I like Barry Cryer, Keith Barron, Jo Brand, Phil Hammond, and I used to like Geoffrey Durham, but I haven't seen him on for a long time.
There aren't many that I don't like, although I can't say that I'm fond of magicians when they appear, as I don't like trickery.
Comedians are always good for banter, of course, especially Jo Brand.

Actually that article makes a fine point about Victoria Coren, she is lovely. And quite funny, and seems to like words and stuff and presents a brainy quiz on BBC4 in which she is lovely and quite funny, and I read two of her articles in the Guardian and they were quite funny.
The point I'm trying to make is I'd like to see her in DC. I know we've had bad experiences with posh journalists called Victoria, but I think this one would be lovely.

I would also have liked to see her late father Alan Coren in DC as he was so good on 'Call MY Bluff'

Me too but its probably not appropriate any more. He'd probably still be wittier than most of what we get treated to at the moment.
