It's quite amazing how much he just nails Parkinson to a tee.

McGowan’s Parkinson is absolutely incredible! From the accent itself to the mumbling and stuttering. Amazing!

Saville and Harris.... What a difference a couple of years can make

All three are hilarious and great impressionists, but Alistair's Parkinson is just incredible

I keep coming back to this. A wonderful impression and sketch. It's set up for Mcgowan in a genius performance. He gets the character and cartoon of Parkinson perfectly.

This is a superb impression of Parky..the inflection, articulation, mannerism all spot on.

I watched a Parkinson video after this and he scratched his ear in the same way! So spot on it’s unreal, the stutters, the mumbling, the shifting

McGowan is just sensational - absolutely the best impression I've ever seen.

Parkie best impression ever totally spot on

The real Parky died today aged 88 but his legacy lives on.

AM's Parky is absolutely spot on. The laugh he got out of Rory Bremner when he said 'grows' was brilliant

Hillarous! His Parkinson his absolutely perfection

To maintain Parkinson for so long is amazing,

Never even considered anyone would do Parkinson but after watching this he is spot ON. Amazing :)

That Michael Parkinson impression is exquisite.

Went to make a cuppa & came back to watch. I was sure it was Parkinson. Absolutely sublime

Roni Ancona is a real beauty and so smart.

Tremendous impression of parky definitely in my top 5 of all time to a T how he mumbles incredible well done alistair top class

McGowans Michael Parkinson is brilliant, but the Saville impression by Bremner was absolutely spot on, I was crying with laughter.

Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris mentioned in the space of 20 seconds, the things we never knew only and such a short time a go.

This is absolutely brilliant, especially McGowan's "Parkinson" and Ancona's "Davina McCall" impressions!

Eyes closed, you'd not know know it was not Parky.

1:40 I know it's not a competition but Culshaw pulls out the stops as best he can with Springer, Bush, Beckham, Dawson then MacGowan just sweeps it all aside with one ridiculous rise of pitch as Parky. Macgowan's the master.

Haha this is brilliant! McGowan is spot-on with Parky!

4:00 - Love how the trouser leg keeps getting higher up as Parky (Alistair) pulls it during interview.

"Make no mistake, that will be discoverefied" 😂

I legit forgot he wasn't Parkinson a few times during this. Amazing impression.

absolutely nails it brilliant as Parkinson

Alistair McGowan is amazing 😂😂😂

It's great to see this. Around 10 years ago, Alistair was the first artist I saw live at the Norwich Playhouse. He'd gone out of fashion and off our screens for some time, and while I always enjoyed watching him, the live set blew me away. A victim of his own success and unfairly maligned, for someone with such a great talent.

Parkinson close your eyes it is unbelievable. All the mannerisms etc. absolutely brilliant

What an amazing concept, 4 impersonators on stage, amd the potential for so many voices, and their versions of the same people.

My god he's brilliant.....they all are. He's got Parkinson's behavior spot on. Culshaw's Frank Bruno is bang on the money. Her impersonation of Davina is brilliant too.

McGowan is the best impressionist ever.

I’ve watched this again it’s out of this world how to the T alistair is on parky mind blowing

Ronni anconna impressions always reminds me of a sean bean discription I heard years ago. Sean bean the man of a thousand voices and everyone of them from Sheffield

That impression of Parky is spot on! 😲 Close your eyes and it's him 😆

Damn, his Frank Bruno impression is unequalled, it's superb.

Fabulous to hear these ppl you all have me in stitches

Brilliant. And the double whammy of Savile and Rolf too.

His parky is amazing. I have seen him do Beckham and many others. He is gifted 😊😊😊

His Parky is amazing! For me, Alistair McGowan is always the best impersonator 😁.

OMG this is amazing!!! I forgot how good his Parkinson was! It is McGowan VS Calshaw - and McGowan wins everytime!!!

This was from "Night of a Thousand Faces" - a one-off Christmas Special taking a look at the world of impressions. It aired on Saturday 22nd December 2001 on BBC One in the UK.

That is a work of genius! Keeping a straight face as Parky all the way through the interviews just made it so real. 😲👌

More like Parky than Parky - his jerking left arm and the bit pulling up his trouser leg is a touch of genius.

What I think is so amazing is the way they switch so quickly and successfully between voices. ❤❤

Close your eyes and it’s Parky. Beautifully done.

Amazing. Loved Audrey Hepburn at the end. Crazy how rolph and saville got their limelight just before everything came out. That’s a couple less minutes to their portfolios

All 4 of these impressionists in this clip came back on iTV in 2018 to do The Imitation Game with Alexander Armstrong. That show was hilarious!!!!

Finally. I had to see Jon Culshaw and Rory Bremner on the same screen to believe that they are not the same person. I thought it was like Steve Cougan doing Alan Partridge but no, they are really Two different people.

Never saw or knew of this before, which is weird for me, was a treat

One of the funniest things I've heard for ages.

That Parkinson impression is sensational.

Immaculate impression.

I had tears watching Alistair doing parky.....brilliant.

That Michael Parkinson impression is unbelievable, superb. RIP Michael

Alistair McGowan doing one impression perfectly is better than 100s(?)

I think Alistair is the best of them all

Jon Culshaws interview response is almost exactly the same as when he appeared on Parkinson for real with Eammon Holmes.

I love how McGowan's trousers keep getting higher.

Born and raised in the US and cannot stop watching these 2 doing impressions of people I mostly have no idea about but after looking all of them up and comparing, would I be far off calling these two UK's best impressionists in the past 20-30 years?

Alistair McGowan one of the best impressionists of our time.

Surely there isn't much better than an impressionist playing a role with other impressionists who are not in role. Bang-on, also.

Absolutely brilliant

''Grows!!!!!'' in a rough voice.

Without dought the best impression I’ve ever ever heard spot on by McGowan 🤙

I never had much time for McGowan, but his Parkinson is absolutely nailed here!

i like it when parky goes uhuhuh ''uuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnrrrrrrr''

This is priceless!

Everyone saying the Parky impression is great, but the guy doing Jon Culshaw is brilliant.

Culshaw’s Blair is a thing of beauty.

"I want to ask you first of all, if I may" - was Parkinson's opening line to a lot of his interviews.

Superb!

Roni is well beautiful

Perfect impression of Parky RIP

Fabulous sketch! Love it!

Brilliant, both Masters of impressions .

Alistair Mcgowan was the GOAT

Ronnie Ancona .....so gorgeous. ..

Bremner smiling at McGowans Parky as he knows it`s so good.

These are so spot on. Thats talent 😅

The Parkinson is so good you forget that it's not actually him at moments

Absolutely fantastic

I thought mike yarwood was the man for parky but Alistair has really nailed it..👍

Yeah he's absolutely brilliant as parky!! So funny.

Alistair is brilliant. Not only is his Parkinson accurate - and funny - he also looks a LOT like Peter Sellers!

Brilliant Alastair was so deadpan

05:02 had me crying 🤣

Brilliant, all four

so much difference to TV now, one tiny joke makes the audience roar with laughter to force joy, which makes it sad in way

One of the funniest routines ever

It's spot on! Culshaw is great but McGowan IS Parkinson RIP Parky

McGowan is the greatest

Really entertaining clip. Love it

Ronni is beautiful

Excellent

These two are VERY good.

"I'm feeling a bit Parky. Anyway don't worry, that's the worst out of the way" 🤣

Alastair is brilliant has Parky
