Who Do You Do?

[C C Csiders]

There was a time in the early to mid 70's when the height of sophistication for a Saturday evening TV viewing was the Who Do You Do? TV impressionist show (like now is any better with Anton Deck or whatever his name is). Who Do You Do featured the likes of Freddie Starr, Peter Goodwright, Aiden J. Harvey, Janet and Faith Brown, and possibly Little and Large perfornming impressions with absolutely no comedic value whatsoever. Just the voice for the laughs rather than the script (have ITV audiences still not improved their sophistication?). For example you would get impressions of the likes of Mae West, Deputy Dawg, Gene Pitney and as an example an impersonation of Eddie Waring would consist of: "Iiiiiarrrarreeeerriiiiiirrararar up and under, iiiarrrarreeeerriiiiiirrarara Rugby League, iiiarrrarreeeerriiiiiirrarara Hull Kingston Rovers, iiiarrrarreeeerriiiiiirrarara Jeux Sand Fron, iiiieerrearrar, Jeux Sand Fron, iiieerrearrar Jeux Sans Front, erreiirrara It's a Knockout".

Anyway, this is a long-winded introduction to asking SZers Who Do You Do? Who can you impersonate? No Jimmy Savile's!

I suck at impersonations and accents!

 

[SUFC_Al]

I have this annoying trait of being able to do impressions once and then never doing it quite the same, such as most of the characters from Little Britain for example, i once did Marjorie Daws so well my missus was cracking up for hours on end and once she'd stopped crying with laughter I couldn't do it the same again!

 

[Mr. Benedict]

I'm completely useless at impersonations or accents.
That usually doesn't stop me trying them though... :p

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

I've been told I can impersonate a fairly good Vic Reeves!

 

[Kris]

I've always been pretty decent at impressions - at school I went through a phase where I could impersonate nearly all of my teachers (well, the male ones at least).

I'd say my best impressions now are Marcus Bentley (the Big Brother narrator), Jools Holland, Julian Clary (yes, I know, a bit worrying), Sven Goran Eriksson and Gary Lineker. And I reckon I could probably pull off a spoof Scriven and Tilly BluesWorld interview.
