Anyone here watch Dead Ringers at all
If so
Who is your favourite impressionist and who is your favourite impresion

Mine is John Culshaw

My favourite Impressions are

1. Tom Baker (So acurate)
2. Ozzy Osbourne
3. Mengis Campbell (Night Night)
4. Simon Schama
5. Sven Goran Errikson
6. David Dickinson
7. Russel Crowe
8. Tony Blair
9. George W Bush
10. Dale Winton

My favourite sketches are the hidden camera ones can't choose which one is the best as they are all funny.

Also does anyone remember the Radio series on Radio 4 I have some on CD they are jst as funny. The big difference is the instead of the hidden camera sckecthes they have prank phone calls.

Here is an example of a prank call

Even through the accent and unfamiliar English slang I found that skit oddly hilarious. What was is about again? ; )

What is happening it is Jon Culshaw phoning Sylvester McCoy Jon Culshaw is Tom Baker who once played Doctor Who and also Sylvester McCoy played Doctor Who as well that was the joke.

I love that show!! !! !

Watch it every week when I can remember. I don't really know who a lot of the newscasters or British politicians are but that's still funny.

My favourite impressions are anything involving:
Ozzy, Doctor Who, Obiwan, George W Bush, Alan Rickman and/or Professor Snape, Gandalf, or Tony Blair.

Got the best laugh out of: Dr Who on the subway, Obiwan at the used car yard, any GWBush scene, Ozzy Osbourne as the new Dumbledore, and LOTR extended edition ending sketch. "So. Who's for a game of Scrabble?"

And I reckon it's hilarious that the guy who does Ozzy Osbourne met Ozzy Osbourne while he was in costume and the real Ozzy thought he was looking as some mirror image of himself or something.

I forgot to mention I like the Jeremy Kyle scketches from the later series. For those who has not seen Jeremy Kylie he is on weekday mornings and Dead Ringers has got it so right.

Oh -- I can't believe I forgot to add Robert Winstone to that list, especially "Robert Winstone's Evil Experiments"
