    In The Faith Brown Chat Show (from London Weekend Television) the busty star impersonated many female celebrities, including Margaret Thatcher as Wonder Woman.

    Faith interviewed celebrities such as Bette Midler, Dolly Parton, Angela Rippon, Mary Whitehouse, Kate Bush, Barbara Cartland and Zsa Zsa Gabor (all played by Faith in a precursor to Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge).

    Faith Brown first shot to fame on Who Do You Do? the quickfire sketch show starring top impressionists of the day such as Freddie Starr.

    That led to The Faith Brown Awards in 1979, and then to this.

    Despite a peak-time Saturday night slot, the show flopped.
