Press clippings

The real skill is to get the imitation both of voice and content just a trifle over-played. From time to time the impersonators on this programme achieve exactly this, but they are given difficult tasks. They are asked, for instance, to imitate some famous figure imitating another famous figure - which doubles the difficulty.

Val Arnold-Forster, The Guardian, 13th December 1975
