Mike Yarwood

In his best Cloughie voice he said " Somebody asked me to tell them a football joke and I said Don Revie. He thought I was going to say Sir Alf but he's beyond a joke "!
 
A real silly Billy who had a few good impressions like Wilson and heath but didn’t really evolve his act and I think got surpassed by better acts, but in his day was definitely very popular indeed
 
Must admit I used to wonder how he got his own show on tv. Some of his mimes were terrible.
I thought he was night club cabaret standard.
He was. He had Robin Day, then all the ones he sounded a tiny bit like were gone and he was left doing people he sounded fuck all like.

And this is me. Yes Mike they all sounded like you.

I can do a passable Blakey out of On the Buses, didn’t give me a fucking Saturday Night Show. Did they? Borderline racism Bill. Everybody knows it. I could have been just as shite.

You can do a decent 'Miserable Jock Bastard' too Magic! :)
 
Harold Wilson facts:
He did not smoke a pipe. He preferred Cuban cigars.
He never used HP sauce which he claimed was his favourite.
He only wore that Gannex mack for photo shoots.
He never said: “I said this at the Brighton conference.”
Yatwood was impersonating a fake personality.

100%, he has a couple of top quality impressions but the rest were very poor and his singing...well let's just leave it there.

RIP to the man, I used to see him many times in Edgeley park back in the 70s, always seemed a very shy guy, hated to be recognised.
