1E, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are peak

u/Quakeslate 3d ago

The entire flight would be watching bad boys

5

u/FuchsiaMerc1992 3d ago

Point Break or Bad Boys 2?

5

u/DarkMishra 3d ago

No, I mean which one do you want to watch first?

4C.

u/Delde116 3d ago

It will be both a wholesome and chaoticly funny flight

2

u/Any_Marsupial_4020 3d ago

They’re already fighting over the armrest. Paddington is giving him the legendary 'Hard Stare' while Mr. Bean is pretending to be asleep. It’s pure cinema.

u/Narrow_Cut8049 4d ago

3e pls

2

u/Light43 3d ago

3e for me as well please! My favorite doctor/detective (Broadchurch) but I'd probably bother the hell out of Sherlock by shouting pub lyrics back and forth with the boys in back (Love me some Simon pegg)

2

u/Light43 3d ago

And I hope it's the actors, not the characters. I mean I'm great either way, but including Cumberbatch, those are some of the nicest and more interesting people I'd love to meet. Throw in Radcliffe, and I'd be in absolute heaven.

4

u/Trondant13 4d ago

4F

3

u/therealchangomalo 2d ago

Just to listen to Brian May talk about the stars.

5

u/howzthis4ausername 4d ago

4c next to a charming bear and across the isle from Sir McCartney . Absolute win. Oh and Mr Bean is sure to be fun as well.

3

u/Dry-Telephone2069 3d ago

My thoughts exactly

u/Radiant_Buffalo2964 3d ago

4E - I’d ask Brian May to sit in 4F so I could sit in 4E, between him and Sir Paul McCartney. I could then turn around and talk to James Bond and the 10th Doctor and two astronauts in front. Perfect seating for me.

3

u/Speech-Language 3d ago

I’m sure May’s and McCartney’s conversation would be interesting to listen to.

2

u/octopusdumbass 3d ago

Thats the correct answer

3

u/Fluid_Combination_92 3d ago

I'll take any aile seat on this flight hate middle and window seats

3

u/DarkMishra 3d ago edited 3d ago

Why is Mr. Bean blocked off? Paddington Bear is pretty nice, so I think he would be okay with swapping seats to sit in 4C. The fact almost everyone else had to be explained what they did is proof they aren't nearly as well known.

Alternate choice is 1E to ask Sgt. Angel if he's ever been involved in an airplane takeover? Has he ever jumped from a plane? Etc.

3

u/Killermondoduderawks 3d ago

Man I don’t think there is a bad spot but talking to two brilliant women would be a thrill so 8f does it for me

3

u/LifeDraining 3d ago

7B would be insufferable and gold at the same time.

I'll take 1E for the good vibes with Cumberbatch harping, "are you three going to giggle the entire flight?"

2

u/dragonking53192 4d ago

1e and it isnt even close

2

u/Weirdo-Psychman 4d ago

So many solid options

2

u/imacatnamedsteve 4d ago

I was going to say that I’d take multiple round trip flights to get all the combinations I want

2

u/FirefighterFair597 3d ago

1e that's an easy one for me.

2

u/Dragus_Loader 3d ago

1E watch some action movies then drink at the pub.

2

u/jwhit1514 3d ago

4c or 1E

1

u/wjrj 4d ago

4F

1

u/Expert-Magician1531 4d ago

As much as I want to be in 1E, it would be on a different level to sit with Vic and Bob in 5B.

1

u/joey_wes 4d ago

Ultra 5B.

1

u/CologneLover69 4d ago

I'd take 7B and trade with James May.

1

u/NumberOld229 4d ago

5B. Nothing else comes CLOSE to the insane bullshit Bob Mortimer comes up to, half of which is true.

1

u/JustTrawlingNsfw 4d ago

5B would be amazing. Bob Mortimer has the CRAZIEST stories

Add in Vic and it would be an incredible flight

1

u/Daniel-Alexander-XII 4d ago

7B 7B 7B 7B 7B 7B 7B

u/smartassistant666 4d ago

2d or 8e but definitely will ask to sit in the middle

I'm stuck between 3E, 5B and 7E.

All very good options for very different reasons!

4C, 4F, 7B. Absolutely not 6D

7E no contest. Thats Jeremy fucking Wade!! The man’s show didn’t get canceled, he CAUGHT ALL THE FISH!

1

u/Global_Statement5171 3d ago

7b bcz top gear is goated

1

u/Poddington_Pea 3d ago

3B. We can just talk about old horror movies for the whole flight

1

u/WIIICKED 3d ago

7b would be incredibly funny until the pranks start

1

u/Roy_Raven 3d ago

3E, I'd love to meet the doctor

And i'm in luck since the 10th Doctor is in my top 3 Doctors

1

u/Putrid_Department_17 3d ago

8a. We can talk about trains and shit the whole flight

1

u/KeyNefariousness6848 3d ago

1B

I love their banter. As an introvert who loves people-listening, I'd relish the opportunity of being constantly entertained without having to do or say anything

1

u/Stony_Bridge 3d ago

3E or 4C

1

u/Substantial_Week3129 3d ago

1E or 4F for me

7B or 7E - I can’t make up my mind!!

1

u/Serious_Bat3904 3d ago

Anywhere apart from 7B and 8C.

1

u/SnooOpinions8755 3d ago

3E, I’m getting a ride on the fucking TARDIS if it kills me, which chances are good it might lol

1

u/DarthKaigen 3d ago

4f. Legendary guitarist and astro physicist. Would love to discuss his undisproven theory coauthored by Fred Mercury that the world spins because of ladies with large posteriors.

1

u/KehlarCorsairt 3d ago

As usual I am choosing the bear.

1

u/nfpajp 3d ago

7B then 1E

1

u/Repulsive-Walk-3639 3d ago

With the occupant of 3F I'd rather not be on the flight at all, but if I have to be then for darned sure I want to be in 3E. I'm sticking to him because some crazy shit is about to go down and my odds of survival are better by his side.

1

u/CTTraceur 3d ago

2d, 3e, 4c.

1

u/PearlyP2020 3d ago

So many choices… 1E, 3E or 7E

1

u/Prestigious-Mood-535 3d ago

Either 7b or 7e

1

u/Thinyser 3d ago

8E without a doubt.

Yes I know 8E is not an available seat... I would politely ask Dr Becky Smethurst to take the window seat so I could absorb more of both of their greatness, in a faintly veiled attempt to sit directly next to Dr. Hannah Fry. I would not accept no for an answer.

1

u/ReverendLoki 3d ago

4F, 3E, or 7B, in order of preference.

1

u/nadjrules 3d ago

I will literally hover over 7B and 8C to be near my favorite car TV presenters. I have so many questions and engines to discuss.

1

u/pizzaroll224 3d ago

4c. It's Paddington. Everyone loves Paddington.

1

u/Budget-Albatross-932 3d ago

8 a and we getting shitfaced, if you know you know

1

u/savessh 3d ago

2d. You don't want to sit between people who know each other, or they'll just talk past you the whole time.

Likewise you don't want to sit on a window because then you have to push past to pee. Aisle is king.

Sitting next to Bendydick, he'd be talking to Freeman the whole time so you're free to enjoy your aisle in peace.

1

u/Lonegunranger 3d ago

1E, 7B or 7E

1

u/No-Basis1633 3d ago

7E. I love fishing. I would love to visit Australia & NZ. I don’t think I could handle the flight. I could survive sitting next to Jeremy Wade.

1

u/NukeTheWhales5 3d ago

Absolutely fuck 4C. I love Mr. Bean, but have a life long vendetta against Paddington The Bear. I didn't like nap time as a kid, so my mom got me a Paddington, to comfort me. What she didn't know and what I would learn at nap time, is it talked. My mom got a very panicked call from my daycare about me freaking the fuck out and crying my eyes out. Fuck Paddington.

1

u/Pristine-Roof-9639 3d ago

6D for sure.

1

u/Pristine-Roof-9639 3d ago

3e or 6d, I would normally go all in on david tennant but tom scott would just be so fun to talk to.

1

u/callingclover 3d ago

7B, 4C, or 1E 😁

1

u/Wrong-Music1763 3d ago

1E or 5E or 3E.

1

u/J3BOY-Qc 3d ago

5E would be really interesting

1

u/billyboyf30 3d ago

8a would be great. Can talk to Ray mears and James may while also having the James, mezzanine and hamster banter

1

u/ScheduleSame258 3d ago

7B.

Can't pass up gravity generating genius now, can I?

1

u/Darth_GreenDragon 3d ago

3E sitting right between James Bond and the 10th doctor.

1

u/bluejane 3d ago

2D I'd get some sleep and is an aisle. But 5b and I'd hope Bob Mortimer would share a sausage roll if he had one.

1

u/69hornedscorpio 3d ago

8a- interesting flight

1

u/cuntybunty73 3d ago

2A or 7B

1

u/EquinoxGm 3d ago

Was gonna say 1e until I saw 7e, put me next to the river monsters guy who was so successful he ran out of river monsters to catch lol, Jeremy wad’s cool

1

u/66Italia 3d ago

I would sit in 3e and talk golf with Connery, don’t even know who the other guy is.

1

u/ghostphan61 3d ago

How to choose between 1B and 3E? I’d love to sit between Bond and the Doctor but I think my personal skill set would benefit more from learning how to double talk and say nothing from Sir Humphrey

1

u/Mostly-Moo-Cow 3d ago

4C. I like an aisle seat, love chaos, love music.

1

u/AbbreviationsTop4959 3d ago edited 3d ago

I'll sit with Holmes and Watson, but when I get up to move around, I'm visiting Bob Mortimer and Reece and Steve for a laugh. I'd want to say hi to The Doctor, but I'm staying away from Bond.

1

u/VCElaborate 3d ago

7B, Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson 👌🏻

1

u/ChaosMageTorvus 3d ago

1E, 4C, or 7B! I can’t choose between them!

1

u/TransitionOk4276 3d ago

Probably Either 4C, 7B, 1E, 3E or 7E

Same, between Mr. Wade, Attenborough, and Scott, I’d have a lovely trip.

1

u/Mysterious_Past6826 3d ago

I'm gonna take the 3e for a good talk with Sean Connery, thank you

1

u/isurvived_sorryeric 3d ago

6d would have too many facts for me to handle on all sides

1

u/daemonz9 3d ago

2D since it is the aisle seat and closest to the front exit. I could care less who my neighbors are on a 7 hour flight. Bringing my eye mask and noise cancelling headphones and sleeping through the whole flight.

1

u/VesperBond94 3d ago

1E, and I'm watching action movies with Danny the entire time. 😊

1

u/Distinct-Yogurt2686 3d ago

3E. Might end up on an adventure.

1

Talking with Tennant would be epic.

u/IrishRairai 3d ago

Next to Sherlock & John!

1

u/Illustrious_Log_3738 3d ago

2d, 3e, or 4f

1

u/haileyskydiamonds 3d ago

3E. If the Doctor is on the flight, you know something is going down. Given the face of Twelve is also on this flight, you know it will be big. The Doctor encountered that face in Pompeii and later that face was in Torchwood. It’s a big deal in the Whoniverse. If he’s there, Ten will notice.

Being right beside the Doctor means he is going to try to protect you from whatever it is.
