Debuting in March 1986, master mimic Rory Bremner starred in 30 minutes of irreverent and topical sketches, stand-up, send-ups, and songs featuring his top-notch impressions of Prince Charles, Ronald Reagan, Terry Wogan, Billy Connolly, Bob Monkhouse, Clive James, Neil Kinnock, Robin Day, Derek Jameson, Ronnie Corbett, Quentin Crisp, and many, many more.
Positioning himself nicely between old traditional and alternative comedy, the Edinburgh-born impressionist gained screen credibility with both middle-of-the-road and young audiences.
He was assisted by Sara Crowe, John Dowie, Steve Steen, Jim Sweeney, Ann Bryson, Jeremy Hardy and Steve Nallon.
The show returned in March 1987 with a further six episodes, which won the press award and the jury’s special mention at the Golden Rose Festival in Montreux.
