The first series of Look Around You is spectacular, although do I wonder if you need to have grown up watching those little white dots disappearing from the clock face to really appreciate it.
Absolutely. I vote for this too. The first series of Look Around You was fantastically funny. It was less so when they reformatted it as a Tomorrow's World spoof.
His singing as McCartney is the best impression I have seen. Freddie Starr was good at doing Elvis, but that McCartney, you'd swear it was Paul singing.
The Schindler's List sketch is from another of his acting masterclasses - Ralph Fiennes. Rather than impersonating Fiennes, he plays him as the great British comedy actor, Leonard Rossiter. To add an extra level, his Fiennes/Rossiter is voiced very accurately as Rossiter's character, Rigsby, from the 1970's sitcom, Rising Damp. The thinking is that Fiennes has a passing resemblance to Rossiter. But it's a fairly impenetrable take if you don't have the reference.

Was waiting for you to get around to his Beatles impressions. I'm obsessed with the Beatles and also love his sketch comedy. And damn he's pretty good at this
Some British References:- 02:20 (not an impression by Peter) but I wanted to mention the recurring brilliant actor Alex Lowe. Appeared in Peep Show as the 'Scientologist'; does amazing characters like Clinton Baptise (Phoenix Nights' psychic "I'm getting the word - nonce") and Barry from Watford (Look up "Minty Biscuit" - hilarious) 03:16 Leonard Rossiter (German officer talking to Hitler; very famous British comedy actor from the 70s - 'Rising Damp', 'Reginald Perrin') 04:13 Chris Tarrant (original presenter of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire) 04:30 David Attenborough (presenter/voiceover for many BBC nature documentaries) 08:05 Terry Wogan (smooth talking Irishman and one-time king of BBC chat shows in the 80s; long time radio presenter) 09:57 Obviously a parody of Big Brother, well known in Britain for its Geordie voiceover man. 10:14 Noel Edmonds (very very famous British TV and radio presenter, presented Top of The Pops in the 70s as well as children's programme Swap Shop. More recently has done the British version of Deal or No Deal.
The impression on the phone to the heir was a impression of Leonard Rossiter. An actor who did a lot of sitcoms. Rising damp, The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. Spot on. And try and watch Vader in love. :) Actor
These clips are all from The Peter Serafinowicz Show. It's very excellent UK comedy. Underrated and over looked. It gets a 9 out 10 score from me, many many laugh out loud sketches throughout the series. Highly recommended, folks. 🤣♥
I thought the George Lucas impression looked like the Jabba the Hutt creature from the the Marlon Brando sketch. The Deal or no deal presenter was meant to be Noel Edmunds, the bloke behind the Mr Blobby character.
Really enjoy all of your reactions, but this is one of YOUR better ones, regardless of the original content (Peter S is a genius, so THAT is not under doubt). I understand we owe you guys a housewarming gift? Wish you many happy years together in your new home, anonymous contribution on its way at a random/anonymous point in the near future, in the form of a superchat.
Peter ( not going to attempt to spell his surname ) is maybe not the best impersonator of all time , but he is very funny . He's married to one of the Smack the Pony girls . The really pretty one with blonde hair . Don't recall her name right now .😊
Peter Serafinowicz is so underrated! King Boomer, if you're up for a laugh, you might enjoy Man Down-it stars the same actor who played Mr. Gilbert in The Inbetweeners
Re people getting upset about the Brando impression: that's interesting to me. Having read his autobiography (highly recommend it - the guy writes exactly as bluntly and eccentrically as you'd expect), I feel like he was incredibly flawed and very human. And not without a sense of humour (he just hid this well pretty often). He's ripe for parody!
His David Lynch wasn't that good. There's a lot he could have done (besides doing a better voice) with Lynch and his mannerisms. Young Michael Caine was brilliant though. But he's one of the most imitated celebrities around.
He's a pretty average impressionist tbh. He's also a mediocre comedy writer. He was hyped up for a year or two, to no avail. There's a reason he disappeared from our tv screens...
