Elizabeth the first because I want to know what she was really like, what she looked like and why she never married. Did she really have a child at one point, was she really a man?
Chaucer, what tales he could tell. I want to ask him about his life, about the people he wrote about and how they lived
Eric Morecambe, a comedian who was funny off stage as well as on.
Anyone from the Bronze age to find out what life was like.
Wallis Simpson did she mean for it to end that way? |

3. John Logie Baird :- in case the tele breaks
4. Old Macdonald :- He has a farm so won't go hungry

Seem to recall reading that the legend could have been based off a couple of historical figures and amalgamated. |

Two fascinating people to start with.
Ada Lovelace, who was the first person known to realise that in the future machines did not have to be confined to single tasks. She basically predicted computers and was I pioneer of computer programming even though she was only around until the mid 1800s. Yes, computers are essentially the brain-child of a woman.
Lise Meitner was a physicist who worked on uranium and discovered nuclear fission. When she realised it could be used to make a bomb she withdrew from the research and all the credit went to Hahn and Frisch. Hahn won a Nobel prize for work she was a key player in.
Musically I would pick JS Bach (IMHO the greatest ever composer) and Bill Evans (IMHO the greatest ever jazz pianist). I could learn a lot from them and enjoy listening to them play.
Finally, not a historical figure I'm afraid so it's cheating, but I'd go for Noam Chomsky, who is endlessly fascinating on various subjects.

Catherine the Great for more sassy night
Virginia Woolf when I get bored of others
and Mata Hari for a time of transgression |

Mozart so he could play for me. Plus I think he'd be a laugh.
Freud so we could talk about penis envy.
Mary Wollstonecraft so she could find out how far many women have come.
Margaret Thatcher so Mary could shame her for doing jack shit for women.
Stephen Fry (not dead I know) for everything that he is. |
