Waking the dead
23.06.2008Elvis Presley has been voted the personality most Brits would like to see brought back from the dead. And that's not all. Apparently he'd give Simon Cowell a run for his money with most people saying that if the King was around today he'd probably be an X Factor judge.
Shakespeare, who came sixth in the poll would apparently be singing with Amy Winehouse while Marilyn Monroe, the third favourite to make undead, would be the ultimate WAG.
The nationwide poll of 2,000 Film & TV fans was commissioned by Warner Home Video to mark the DVD release of Pushing Daisies: Series One, which follows the story of Ned, a young man who possesses a very special gift of being able to return the dead with just one touch.
See the full list below for some predictable and some rather bizarre (Henry VIII anyone?) entries.
