    Do they have to sit together or do you interview them individually?

    Victoria Wood, Rock Hudson & Doris Day together, Churchill, the man, not the dog ;) & my nan, as there are so many things I would like to ask her that didn't come up when she was still with us.

    Aww @JessieJ It's that time old thing of asking what you can when you can but when you are able to! As a kid, you don't think to ask.

    It sure is, @Hannah_Scope & it's so frustrating with nobody left to ask.

    You never know! With my ancestry research I found the son of my 2 x Great Uncle. 94 living abroad and was able to give me insight into loads of family stuff! 

    Will keeping my fingers crossed you find that person, document or story to help you with your questions :)

    I don't think I'd pick famous people.

    I'd like to interview, wouldn't go as far as to say random people, but just general public who have lived a life.

    Maybe a war veteran - ideally a pilot. Or a civilian/child who was about during WW2, or a Jewish person who went on the run maybe? A police detective who was at the peak of their career during the 70s. A retired lifetime doctor or nurse who has seen the rise & fall of the health service.

    I remember a newspaper had a "Ask A White Van Man" section where they asked a random person on the street what they thought about issues. Was much more interesting than hearing from the so-called experts!!!
