Who's your dream guest editor?

Andrew Flintoff guest-editing Sport magazine
Andrew Flintoff guest-editing Sport magazine

Andrew Flintoff is guest-editing Sport magazine; Alastair Campbell had a go at the New Statesman; Bono, famously, took over the Independent. Some would say that publications only have guest editors as a way of gaining press attention and access to their contacts books, rather than for reasons of great journalistic ambition. But I'd like to think that matching the right editor to the right publication could produce a rather marvellous result.

So who would you like to see edit what? Amy Winehouse to take the chair at the Lady, perhaps? Germaine Greer to do Nuts or Men's Health to invite in Pete Docherty? Peter Viggers MP, of course, would jolly up Homes and Gardens no end with his duckpond shoots.

Share your fantasy guest editors with us – and your favourite real-life collaborations to date.
