Is Mike Yarwood dead? I thought he died ages ago but I cannot find confirmation.

Blinking ‘eck! Jimmy Saville has so much material to lampoon “Now then, now then” “As you know…” “Showaddywaddy” Puffing on lit cigar “eeeeeeeugggugghhhhe” and looking rather smug. In this sketch, Yarwood makes a real hash of impersonating Saville, it’s embarrassing.

I wonder if anyone ever tried to impersonate Mike Yarwood?

No he’s not shuffled off this mortal coil…. still alive though its very rare you hear of him or see him on the box nowadays..

Yarwood used to impersonate Brian Clough… they had a few things common… both became alcoholics… and the 1970′s was the peak of both men’s careers…….

I suspect this is meant to be an impersonation of Cloughie somehow morphing into Jimmy Saville. Hence the reference to Derby; a place where these days Brian Clough’s son attempts to impersonate a football manager.

@Kevinasp

Just dress up as a huge ****.

I remember this!

that’s hanwell station is that

Mike Yarwood was **** at impressions in the 70s & 80s, & is still **** at impressions now.

Nuff sed……..

Mind you, the first joke on this clip about times & the end joke about ’81 is the age of the train are pretty funny, so I’m upping my star rate to three,,,,,

Jimmy Savile? Sounded nothing like him!
No wonder Yarwood isn’t on telly anymore.

It’s essentially Yarwood’s Clough impression slightly reworked. To be fair, Yarwood was untouchable in the 70′s, primarily because there was minimal competition and, pre video recorders, no chance to dissect his performances.

Yarwood could never touch Eddie Large’s Deputy Dawg impression. The moment those floppy ears went on, I was swept away.

bloody awful!

Unsure where the jimmy Saville impersonation is, can someone help ?

His Clough was good but this Savile impression is utterly poor

What a quality sketch!
Brilliant writing!
