I've just read Davina McCall being described as a 'National Treasure'

What is the definition of a ' National Treasure ' and who decides who is a NT ?

Who are the other NT's that we apparently have ?

'An artefact, institution, or public figure regarded as being emblematic of a nation's cultural heritage or identity.'

So, not Davina Mcall, surely!
^ McCall ^
National Treasure? Where did they dig her up from.!!
I'm not actually sure who Davina McCall is. Have a vague idea that she is the female with the stupid fringe half-covering her eyes - something to do with a talent show? Not a N.T. as far as I am concerned. Alan Bennett is definitely a N.T., but I'm struggling for another apart from Judi Dench. Who decides these names? Well, judging on the McCall call - a very young, metropolitan half-wit.
I would also suggest Maggie Smith, but not DT.
Question Author
Apparently Stephen Fry is one
you have to be as mad as a box of frogs to be a national teasure and she easily fills that bill

her mother ( mozzair I suppose ) once left her in a club at night whilst the mum went and er had you know kissies with a man
and presumably collected her and her sister later ....

her mozzair never told her what her grand dad did and so Davina walked into the police museum in Gay Paree ( and her mozzair was pretty gay hur hur hur) and said "Hey my father is on the wall !"
and THEY said yeah he was chief of police here in 1910 (!!)

Celestin henon for it was he was founder of les brigades du Tigre ( zuh tigre was not Hennion but Clemenceau the prime minister) and they were the Fransh predecessors of the G men of Eliot Ness fame or Fabian of the Flying Squad
lots of teevee progz about them - where the actors drive turn of the century cars and look fab in an Edwardian sort of way
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigades_du_Tigre

and I think of him and them whenever I hear her mentioned
as mad as a box of frogs she is
( why is she a national tresor ? o god knows )

When Ay-dwar visited gay Paree, Hennion got the Royal Victorian Order medal and the fambly generously gave it to her ( Davina) when she visited on the teevee prog " Who you den ?" or " who the hell are you?" that prog

when she was on Wild Women ( tee vee woman's hour ) she didnt have to do an Einstein face ( wild frizzy hair and tongue sticking out) before you thought jesus this one is crazy.
I propose that Monsieur Peter Pedant be made a National Treasure....
Anyone second that?
Peter Pedant - //"Hey my father is on the wall !"
and THEY said yeah he was chief of police here in 1910 (!!) //

Her grandfather surely?

If he had risen to the rank of police chief by 1910, he would have been born around 1860'sh, so not likely to have a daughter in her 40's in 2017!
The term 'national treasure' is like every other media construct - open to being stretched until it twangs and disappears up its own fundament.

Looks like this was the last stretch too far!

Davina McCall is many things, but a national treasure is not one of them!
Unlike Stephen Fry.......♥
Peter. ...,no doubt about it, I love peter .xxxxx
Fry?
Sigh...
No I sometimes get confused by PP's posts but

Hey my father is on the wall !"
and THEY said yeah he was chief of police here in 1910 (!!)



Seems clear enough to me ... or is me missing something?
"Hey my father is on the wall !"



Who said that PP, Divina or her mothhair?
I have just put in a request that Gness be introduced as one.
celestin hennion : // Il est l’arrière-grand-père de Davina McCall, la présentatrice de l’émission de télé réalité Big Brother //

zat eez great grandfather - desole - sozza
sorry readers
No twr. G is too young :-)
Dames, Judy Dench and Maggie Smith are my ideas of National Treasures.
To me a National Treasure is someone who is well past doing whatever they are supposed to do but are still allowed to do it.
