The Impressions Show With Culshaw & Stephenson

Series 1, Special - The Best Of The Impressions Show

A compilation of the best of the series, showing nobody is safe while Culshaw and Stephenson are taking the mickey out of celebrity culture. Eamonn Holmes, Bruce Forsyth, Tess Daly and Vernon Kay get a ribbing, as do Ross Kemp, Amy Winehouse, Michael McIntyre and David Cameron. Autumnwatch, Cheryl Cole, Wayne Rooney and The Apprentice also come in for the typically ludicrous Culshaw and Stephenson treatment.
