Who would you most like to have dinner with?

We have just finished viewing a TV program where a famous chef has a famous guest for dinner (not Hannibal Lector style).Apart from your wife/husband/family/boyfriend/girlfriend, with whom would you most like to go out for dinner? They can be dead or alive.
I would choose the actor James Mason(dead) and Stephen Fry (alive). Obviously James may be a bit quiet during the meal but hopefully you get my meaning.

I like the format of one dead & one alive.

So I'd choose Judi Dench & the late John Peel

Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe (both alive)
And I'll ask Decker and Howard along too, to pick the wine [:)]
