As it happens, Hislop tried to get Merton to put the Beatles (and Charlie Chaplin) into Room 101 in the last episode but he failed (and a good thing too), at least he started with an interesting argyment (even though he admitted it fell apart 
) About how he gets fed up with everyone saying how great the 60's were (by people who didn't live through them?) and "the Beatles were the greatest band ever" or words to that effect, but when Merton asked him about Shakespeare and said "Do you think Ben Johnson was better then?" Hislop just went "Errm..." But he said he found Paul's poetry rather naff etc, - that's OK. I had more respect for his opinion than Davina McCalls.
Of course the average person knows Shakespeare more than Johnson.
