Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen: Hey not bad. True he is a little foppish, camp even, but the ladies love him (including my wife) and he is gifted and well groomed chap. This was the most popular comparison at one time, and when I acted as MC for a works 'do' I did go the whole hog and wear a BIG shirt, frock jacket and cravatte so I probably deserve this.
Alan Davies: Well oooookay, I can live with that too. Again, he is well liked and popular but a little but nerdy and geeky, don't you think? The likeness was first mooted when we were on holiday in France last year and it has been commented upon a couple of times since then. But his hair is a mass of 'natually permed' curls, whereas mine is just a mass. Plus his persona is that of a bit of a dunce on QI , so on balance I think I'll stick with Laurence if it's all the same to you. 
David Shayler: Now hang on, what's going on here? While he is almost exactly the same age as me and has been brave enough to stand up and be counted (so he's a good decent sort of chap), the plain and simple truth is that is a little on the portly side! Plus he's not much of a babe magnet, is he? This was the most recent comparison to me that was made AND by somebody who had an uncanny resemblance to Louis Theroux.
Two acquaitances of mine have doubles, although rather distressing for them is the fact that they are dead rather than living celebrities: Peter Sellers and Peter Cook. So at least I still compare to one of the living, so I shouldn't complain...
