    Hammond, Clarkson and May are looking well

      I thought Hammond had let his beard grow plus grown a foot! Mind I love Hammonds look now.

    Alistair McGowan is a true gent, I was sat opposite him on a train back in about 2006 and he was so down to earth and nice for a TV personality. Hope he is well.

    Love how Alistair can’t contain himself when Rory does George Galloway……absolutely nails it! 😂😂😂

    These two should have their own show. It's time to bring impressions back to the radio/TV.

      Personally I'd say Alistair McGowan is the BEST OF ALL TIME.....that I've seen anyway, over the last fifty years of enjoying impressionists.

  • @mariasmyles
    @mariasmyles 6 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Impressionists are always more entertaining and impressive OUTSIDE of the typical shows they appear in.
    Culshaw & Stephenson make the mistake of spending 5hrs in make-up, to deliver a silly punchline, when it's intonation, rhythm, emphasis and uniquely recognizable traits that make a great (and hilarious) impression.
    Frank Skinner doesn't have a black musketeers goatee & tache, and yet McGowan here, really nails it.

    Wonderful to see this. Thank you for uploading. I feel almost privileged to have seen even this glimpse of what impressionists think about. And to have it from those two in particular...well, I had thought it would be too much to hope for.
    Thank you for posting.

    This is like those scenes in movies/animes where the amateur protagonist seeks assistance from the elder gurus/masters. McGowan and Bremner are absolute beasts!

    2:05 - Dara O'Briain has a little bit of a Jay Leno trait in his speaking. If you listen here to Alistair doing Dara's "explaining" it sounds like Leno's pitch too.

    Mike Yarwood had people with original personalities in the 70s! McGowan and Bremner grew up in an era of people with zero personalities ,hence why its more difficult now! Mmm Betty!
