100 Greatest Britons

In 2002, the BBC produced a TV programme and had asked the British population to vote for those peope they thought were our Greatest Britons. This would not have been my personal choice, but this quiz is based on the opinions and debates that were led to come to these conclusions. Try and name them. Surnames only

Wilfred Owen was a far far better poet than Aleister Crowley. he deserves to be in your list IMO.

Thank you for your comment. This is not my list - this was a list voted for by the great British public - there are several people that I would not have included!
