John Major owes this man a lot for saving him 27 years ago. MP's were plotting to remove John Major until they received a call from him begging for help and support. It turned out it was Rory Bremner who had phoned all these MP's doing the impression and they all thought it was really John Major so decided to back off from their plot.
With all his faults, Major is the only living PM I think it would be pleasant to be around, perhaps with a pint of real ale. Bremner's interpretation of him is epic.
He actually did buy me a pint once. I was in a Fleet Street pub, and looked across, obviously knowing that I'd recognised the PM. He just beckoned me over and we had a chat - just like a typical pub encounter with anyone - except that he was PM!
An excellent impression of the 'grey man'. The only reason he became Prime Minister was that Lady Thatcher made him her protege`- and she did that without realising that he was very far to her political left,
Over twenty years latter the " Grey man " seems like a political god compared to what we have now .
Hmm?
@@Aerojet01 John Major was grey in Spitting Image.
And 2 years after you said this, it got worse!
Sort of .He was a prelude

Rory Bremner was the best we ever had. Impossible to tell from the real thing.

@@paulcaswell2813 Happens all the time. Happy new year!
@@norcatch And the same to you!
Best impression of John Major ever! :D
Are there any more bremner impressions of major?? This is hilariously brilliant :D
Brilliant, Bremners good but I didn't realise he did it back in 1993.
Bremner has been going since 1985 when he joined Spitting Image

Major talking about family values whilst having an extra marital affair sums such sociopaths up!

@classicalliberal11 The Tories should have tried much harder to stop Blair.
far to the left of thatcher, so that made him a right winger as opposed to a thatcherite
i'd say he was centre
