    Les Dennis and Dustin Gee had a short lived show Short lived in the same sense as Dustin Gee. They were an interesting combination Les Dennis was technically a very good impressionist but Dustin Gee had a more natural sense of comic timing. Of course both are alumni of the Russ Abbot's Madhouse

    Not picking Dick Van Dyke and David Attenborough might be a good start.

    It was all the artists that made it through to the final. The individual winning acts would then release their song

    Comedians with TV name recognition would be in demand to fill Panto season at regional theatres and summer seasons at coastal resorts. The TV gave them leverage but just because they are not o it doesn't mean they aren't working

    I actually saw Mike Yarwood on stage in Summer season at Blackpool in 1980. Supported by the Nolan Sisters. Impressionists have a difficult job not only do they need to do an accurate impression they need to find something funny to do with it.

    This round seems to have gone quite quickly and I am largely happy with all the tracks that are going though. This has been the best selection yet from the 00s

    If I didn't have so much work to do I would be plotting a graph at how the scores for these two have changed across the days of the competition

    For what was a extremely flippant remark on my part has elicited a very detailed and quite uncomfortable answer which does concern me about how close to power such people are in France
