So with everything you have achieved (or not) throughout your life some nutter decides to make a film about you, who would you want to be the voice of your life!
Morgan Freeman is out (he’s a given).

I think I’d go with Sir David Attenborough.

I know you said Morgan Freeman was out…but I think that he’s actually contractually obligated to narrate everything that happens everywhere ever…

…but in a world where that were not true…Bobcat Goldwaite. I have no idea how to spell his name…but I want him to talk my life…

I would choose Stephen Frye (@macbean – maybe we can share him) or Jeremy Clarkson, he is such a smart mouth, you have to love him or maybe hate him.

That said, @wundayatta gets the prize for the best answer!!! You are lucky though, my guy, Brandon is his name, gets really annoyed when I disobey, you can just hear the irritation in his voice or am I being paranoid???
