This sparklingly funny documentary, part of a series on different aspects of British light entertainment which originally went out in 2006, explores the role that impressionists have played in British entertainment over the last 50 years. Its subjects range from Mike Yarwood's pitch-perfect lambasting of Harold Wilson in the Sixties up to the present-day work of Ronni Ancona and Alistair McGowan.
