The subject of what constitutes a National Treasure is hotly debated. Although there is universal agreement that the following are required for eligibility:

• Person X must be a living UK national citizen
• Person X must be a public person who has been famous in the UK for several years
• The vast majority of the general public would whole-heartedly agree that Person X is an all-round good egg

Many would add some of the following to the list of crieteria

• Has humility about themselves. They don't take themselves seriously and nobody else does either
• Is well liked and popular with the press and the general public
• Has a clean cut image. Unlikely to be involved in a scandal
• Talented, and always tries hard but somehow doesn't ever attain first place
• Embodies some aspect of British culture
• Makes you proud to be British
