Stanley Baxter

Stanley Baxter returns to ITV for Christmas

Veteran comedian and impressionist Stanley Baxter is to come out of retirement and return to the small screen for the first time in more than 10 years with a one-off Christmas special for ITV1.

From Stanley Baxter we expect something more adventurous, but The Best of Stanley Baxter (LWT) unintentionally reinforced the impression that he is happiest as a female impersonator. Nor does he seem particularly concerned about which female he impersonates, as long as the costume gives him a chance to show off his legs.
