- The late, great impressionist Janet Brown featured in the classic TV show in the early 1980s. Does anyone have her series for Thames "Janet & Company"?? A huge fan, I have been trying to locate this for years! ***DISCLAIMER***I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING IN THIS VIDEO AND HAVE UPLOADED IT PURELY FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES AND FOR FANS OF JANET BROWN.

She was an amazing talent for mannerisms, voices an personalities of famous people.
I'm amazed, she was 57 in this programme and she looks barely 40!
She looks stunning
2023, and this has just come up on UA-cam, here in my home in Australia. Fifteen years ago, passing through London to Europe, one evening I was in the lounge of a small hotel in Bayswater Road. Present also was a lady who said she was Janet Brown, a name that meant nothing to me. Over supper, she explained that she impersonated Margaret Thatcher. Intrigued (and as she was so pleasant) I asked her to step into character to let me see. The result was astonishing. I was totally floored by her voice, manner and total conviction in the role. And I'd only seen Lady Thatcher on TV here in Australia. Ms Brown's talent, and her generosity to a total stranger, will be one of my lasting memories.
What a lovely story. I was a huge fan, never got to meet Janet unfortunately but have a letter and signed picture. She was well known for her Margaret Thatcher but was SO much more. I would love to see her series again "Janet And Company" but it's never been repeated or released.
Wonderful that the inspirational Jessie Matthews survived to meet Janet, Passing away a few short months later and for the amazing Carol Channing to be still with us at an incredible 97!
Carol Channing just recently passed away earlier this month at 97. Those two are finally together again.
The late GREAT Janet Brown. So glad she was honoured.
lovely woman. didn't even realize she had passed away. talent gone under the radar.
Desmond Wilcox with Ester Rwandan died in 2000 - 8:15, Andrews before him in 1987.
She was great, she picked her soulmate in the late great Peter Butterworth and had a lovely family Tyler and Emma. X
What a lovely lady
@@jacksugden8190 ... Esther Rantzen ... but you made me laugh anyway.
Never knew that Peter Butterworth was her husband .
I remember being quite shocked at how old Janet was when she died she always seemed so much younger
What a beautiful human being - Janet Brown.
I was on the QE2 cruise and Janet Brown was appearing on it - A great lady Bless you Janet xx
Was sooo nice to watch this.
Wonderful Janet is one of the greats , from my childhood that I had forgotten, I now remember her. I think I even did my own Maggie thatcher impersonation many years ago!
Me too! 😄
Great artist, and so was Peter her husband ... well done George
Absolutely! The best of all the impressionists and sent me a couple of signed pictures. Wish I could find her "Janet & Company" series which I used to love!
I Hope you do, I will also look around for it
Couldn’t get her impression of Carol Channing right, costume looked good in this film.
It's spooky that Janet died at the same age as her most famous impersonation Margaret Thatcher, both aged 87.
I thought it was pretty good of Margaret to write a personal letter for Janet for the show. Lord knows the prime minister is plenty busy!
The Esther Rantzen impression is brilliant!
Amazing that her husband Peter Butterworth, who played the buffoon in many a Carry On film was a prisoner of war and held at Stalag Luft and was a key member of the Great Escape team. He was supposed to be the last man out but stayed to keep sending coded messages to British Intelligence. Another prisoner Talbot Rothwell was a scriptwriter for the Carry On films too. Butterworth was turned down to play himself in the 1949 movie The Great Escape.
some souls here have gone RIP
Very talented
My late grandparents are in the audience.
Fascinating.....
@@davidfelix2594 as is your reply
Check all my other uploads of this wonderful entertainer!
She’s so lovely.
Her son looks just like his dad Peter Butterworth
You need new glasses Mark.
OMG - Jessie Mathews !!!!!!
Well, you've cracked it again. Keep it up! Thank you!
Who? Lol
The UA-cam channel called Thames TV has privated all their This Is Your Life videos so you're the only source of new ones now. Keep it up :)
Ah I see! Thank you! Enjoy!
R I P Janet
Sad that her daughter died so young in 1996 aged 34.
I read that - what happened to her? I have a signed photo from Janet, and on the back is a message from Emma Butterworth and it says "secretary to Miss Brown"!
Perhaps unsurprisingly Janet died aged 87 which a grand age to live to in 2011, Eamon Andrews passed away some years ago, Emmer in 1996, Tyler continued to act, and married to actress Janet Dibley, I’m lucky to have my life aged 63.
The studio audience is God's waiting room
Yes no one left. Now. All good ones passed away. We left with crap actors crap singers crap comedians omg
lovely lady..
Absolutely_ I still have a letter and a couple of signed pics years apart that she sent me. I used to be amazed at how much she LOOKED like her impersonations as well as sounding like them.
Of course, actor Tyler Butterworth is married to actress Janet Dibley.
Does anyone know how Miranda Butterworth died ? Scoured the internet and I can't find any information on her tragic passing.
No Jay, but some things are kept private.
Her sister looks like her
