Yep, just googled - John Waters was born in London Trish .... and was a £10 pom - that might be an interesting story.

I can think of a few who I DON't want to see on Aussie WDYTYA - can we make a list of them too?

Sorry, getting my Johns mixed up, the John I was thinking of from All Saints (I don't watch the show but I see the ads, lol) is John Howard!  :-[  :D

So yes, I agree, John Waters would be a fascinating WDYTYA subject.

How about Warren Brown? He is very entertaining in other TV work he has done, and some of his cartoons could certainly spice up the show.

Also how about drawing from the list of living national treasures for inspiration?

NSW Convict 1836: Peter WIFFIN (alias VIVIAN)
VDL Convict 1841: Richard REES

SA Old Colonists (<1857): Messenger, Tyler, McFeat, Ladner, Edwards, Cassidy, Rhodes, Shaw, Waye, Sibly.
SA Colonists (<1901): Jones, Pike, Bowyer, Davey.

Yep, that's John Waters and he's on "All Saints". Also in the Bird's Eye adds  ;D.

List of don't want to sees:
Well, Nicole Kidman for one - can't stand her
Leyton Hewitt - can't stand him
There ARE more ....

Just had a quick look on nudge's list - only a few names I recognise on there, but a good place to start.

Just thought of another one for the "maybe" list inspired by nudge - Michael Leunig - promising sounding surname. I think he has some problems of a mental or health nature too ...

Sacrilege!

If they did that C.U.B I'd send them a letter telling them I would never watch their show ever again.

Here's some family history for you.

Lleyton Hewitt's grandfather Max Hewitt knocked my father unconcious during a 1950's South Australian country football grand final - cannot remember which year off the top of my head. Dad had to be carried off the field, and has no memory of the match at all, though he had kicked a crucial point.

No matter, at least his team won. It was one of three grand final appearances he had, playing for Willunga.
