David Attenborough: anyone for coffee?
Dame Judi Dench at 15 per cent edged out J.K. Rowling and Dawn French as the top female celebrities in the coffee meeting stakes.

Judi Dench won 15 % of the vote
“You can’t make coffee without fresh water - but more importantly we can’t live healthy lives without fresh water either, " declared Stephen Fry. “It is our most precious resource, so I am very proud to be a part of any initiative which extols the virtues of coffee with friends while helping provide fresh water for those who most need it.”
