Making An Impression

Paul Burling shot to fame as a finalist on Britain's Got Talent in 2010, having put in the hard yards as a Redcoat, in panto and as a touring pro. His own Christmas show on ITV was watched by millions but ITV didn't follow through with a promised series. A fascinating story and a charming man. And his impressions are truly top notch.

Kate O'Sullivan started doing other people's voices professionally when she was 10. Since then, she has appeared on a raft of TV and radio shows like Who Do You Do, 2DTV, Hedz and Double Take and is the voice behind several leading commercial brands. Funny, talented and engaging.

Terry Mynott takes us through his transition from musician to impressionist to actor and voiceover artist. Terry starred in two series of the brilliant if underrated The Mimic on Channel 4 and was a regular on The Morgana Show among many other TV and radio shows. He discusses his life, career and vocal techniques, and gives us some glimpses of his very best impressions.

More brilliant impressions, insights and stories from the inimitable (that's right) master impressionist Rory Bremner. Hear about the impression that stumped him, how Louis Walsh is essentially Donald Trump, the myriad accents that span a tiny stretch of northern England and how deep fake technology is changing the game for impressionists.

The peerless Rory Bremner discusses his extraordinary career, from his days as a young impressionist on the alternative comedy circuit in the 1980s to his long and hugely successful stint as a sharp and influential political satirist on BBC and Channel 4. Articulate, funny, insightful and captivating. And, of course, a master impressionist. Part 2 coming soon.

One of the outright funniest Making An Impressions podcasts so far with the brilliantly gifted Stefano Paolini. He can knock out endless wonderful impressions - Harrison Ford, Portillo, Samuel L Jackson and more - but it's how he packages them that makes him unique. Beatboxing, foreign languages, accents. It's a real treat.

Actress, artist, writer, singer and impressionist Jessica Martin shot to fame in the early 1980s as a regular on a variety of prime time TV shows. Impressions of characters like Margaret Thatcher and Hilda Ogden were spot on, but she was even better known for her amazing singing impressions: Streisand, Garland, Monroe, Cilla and many more. Here she discusses her career, vocal techniques and graphic novels.

Charlie Hopkinson is a young genius who has already garnered millions of views on his YouTube channel. Spine-tingling impressions of Morgan Freeman, Ian McKellen, Walter White and Jessie Pinkman, plus fascinating insights into Charlie's methodology and career to date. A star in the making.

A bonus show featuring the amazingly gifted Adam Diggle. Adam nails Lycett, Attenborough, Grylls and Cage among others, and treats us to his pantheon of brilliant boxing impressions - Fury, Froch, Eubank, McCrory and Tyson among them. Plus some great insights into his vocal techniques.

Steve Nallon shot to fame in 1984 when his seminal Margaret Thatcher impression first appeared on Spitting Image. He also provided the voices of Roy Hattersley, Enoch Powell and many others. Since then, he has worked as a stand-up comedian, impressionist and voiceover artist, alongside teaching comedy at Birmingham University. Funny and fascinating.
