My own first choice would be to find out what my grandfather was like. He was killed in Normandy in June 1944, whilst my granny was pregnant with my mum. We've only got photographs, and my granny could never really talk about him much, so I'd love to be able to have a conversation with him, and find out what sort of man he was.

Secondly, I'd go back to ancient Greece. I love the historical fact based novels of Mary Renault, and would love to have lived then...but only if I was rich. I'm too gobby to have been a good slave.

Lastly I'd go back to the early 1930's. I'd want to be British, but living in either Paris or Berlin, and be involved with the art scene there.
