    Me and some friends sat next to him at Pizza Express in Cheltenham. I think he came for the Book festival, we also said goodbye when he left and he waved back! Quite a nice guy.

    Alistair McGowan is one of the best impersonators, my favourite is (Richard) from richard and judy

    well said! Yes, it's really good stuff, well written and researched and brilliantly performed - it's a shame there isn't more like this!

      There's plenty of talent like this just no longer a platform for them to perform anymore. The death of working mens clubs has killed the ability for raw talent to learn their craft and build an audience before making it to TV, which has forced the TV channels to make safer programs that follow tried and tested formulas featuring pretty much the same cast in all of them. With only really generic safe talent being able to breakthrough.

    I like his thinking about animals. It's like "Creature Comforts" in reverse.

    Considering this has been uploaded by BBC Studios, this clip is of such poor quality. Why?

    Dude, I'm from Southern Ireland and believe me I don't think Michael Collins gave his life so 100 years on stupid people on youtube could involve us in the 'U.K'.

    Why is there such a long dicussion about this on this video?
    The UK = Great Britain. Northern Ireland is included - the ROI is independent of the UK.

    hes so much better than jon culshaw and bremner too

  • @themusician31
    @themusician31 16 років тому

    I mean the UK = just 'Britain'. I see now what the argument is about. UK = Britain but Great Britain is the island consisting of Scotland, England and Wales. So NI and Shetlands, Eilean Sear etc. are British but not 'Great British'. A little confusing.

    i watched him hes good, dont think much to the jimmy carr impression tho.

  • @CosmicAeon
    @CosmicAeon 16 років тому

    Actually it's the other way around. Great Britain is just England, Scotland and Wales. The UK is Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

    Not as good as Bremner is and lacking the satirical sharpness.
