Fresh-faced and just out of drama school, Steve Coogan spoke to Alan Titchmarsh about his knack for impersonations at school, for friends and even in front of Sean Connery!
He also talks about his voice acting work on Spitting Image before running through some of his repertoire - Sean Connery, Kenneth Clarke, Donald Sinden, Roger Moore, David Bowie, Prince Charles, Ronnie Corbett, Michael Caine, Edward Fox, Ben Elton and Sylvester Stallone all get a brief run-out.
Clip taken from Daytime Live, originally broadcast on BBC One, Wednesday 7 March, 1990.
