If you could bring back one person from the dead (not family and friends) to show them their legacy, who would it be?
Think I'd choose john logie baird and show him the latest internet enable smart TV technology, bet that would leave him gobsmacked! :D

    especially when he sat down to watch an episode of 'Benidorm'...

    I think maybe Faraday, he would be similarly amazed by the uses to which we put his discoveries around electricity.

    Wilbur and Orville Wright. Take them for a ride on an A380, first class of course.
    Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.

    Charles Dickens.

    I'd love him to see that his stories are still being read today.

    Maybe somebody who didn't get due recognition in their own lifetime. Mendel, Wegener or Boltzmann.

    No-one has said Thatcher yet. That said, she saw her legacy and seemed happy with it.

    Karl Benz so he could see how successful the motor vehicle has become and whether he thinks it has changed the world for better or worse.

    This is a great shout.

    Karl Marx would be an interesting one.

    Yes ifit's to show them their legacy I can't top Karl Marx, though I wouldn't mind seeing an Otis Redding gig.

    I was going to suggest the victims of the Aberfan disaster, but then had a vision of a bloke in a cheesy jacket saying 'look what you would have won' as he casts his arm across a modern suburban landscape.

    Think I'll settle for Hendrix.

    Hitler would be a popular choice. Imagine the queues...

    I would bring back those 100s of school kids on that ferry, they (unless there is some sort of miracle) will never have chance to leave a legacy.

    Nick Drake. Largely ignored in his lifetime but now recognised as one of the great singer-songwriters.

    Mr. VTech.

    It has all gone very quiet very suddenly, and all a bit boring.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.
