After a rest of 7 years, this classic, award winning impressions show is back with six new episodes and a new cast of characters, the last of which is on tonight! They were right when they say no-one is safe from their merciless parodies...

I haven't caught them all but the ones I have have been very funny in places...unfortunately there's only from Ep 4 to listen to (available for 7 hours at time of posting)...funny sketch about the Yorkshire Police being annoyed that the BBC had broken the news about Cliff Richard's home being searched before they got their bung...lots of political sketches involving Nick Clegg, William Haig on mullets, Nige Farage has a few references and does a podcast live mentioning Julian Assange. Downtown Abbey/Mr Carson et al get a reference...Film 2014 features films featuring childrens games - great impressions of Liam Neeson and Penelope Cruz...John Bishop comedian does a One Show sciency thing with Alex Jones or similar - she's wicked with a Blue Peter challenge for Prof Stephen Hawking and Prof Brian Cox gets a look in too Bishops says...you've all been tweeting...mostly abuse...

Love 'Roy Hodgson' reading an excerpt from his autobiography "If at first you don't succeed, I'm all out of Ideas".... <wink>

Best of All: For all you who have young children/grandchildren you cannot have escaped Disney's hit film Frozen...one of DR's female impressionists sings a great anti-anthem song parodying the popular hit song from the film called Let It Go! Funny for me, as when I was touring around Wales, the Frozen soundtrack was in my friend's car cd player and she sang Let It Go at the top of her voice more than once...so I've recorded the Dead Ringer's version and sent it to her...it's brilliant...
