I remember seeing his 1st Christmas special for Thames after leaving the BBC in 1982. There was a similar "Charles & Diana" sketch where Selina Scott - who was soon to join the BBC's Breakfast Time show - did a spoof interview As always, Mike did a brilliant Prince Charles impression while Suzanne Danielle did an equally great Princess Diana impression & in particular the "shy Di" part which had the studio audience in hysterics
8:20 - Doing Harold Wilson impressions in 1983 was one reason why many switched Mike off - for the generation who remembered Wilson, they felt this was old hat, for the younger audience, they really didn't know much about Wilson and didn't care. His reluctance to let go of these 1970s politicians was his downfall.
Mike yarwood was a real entertainer there was many impersonators Mike s to me be remembered as a political impersonater because he done more house of commons political members than celebrities
