David Hunter, looking a lot like Mike Yarwood is given the push from the Crossroads Motel. Benny, Mavis and Sid look on. And, a rather dodgy Bet Lynch to say the least.
I know the pressure of telly got to poor Mike though. I live near one of his very old haunts from years ago. He is better than Bremner, but Birs and Fortune are funny in their own right. Bremner is too political
Mike Yarwood just recycled some of his other impressions. Prince Charles became Ronnie Allen, Frank Spencer became Benny and Old Man Steptoe became Mavis!
this is so spot on,, i have been watching crossroads on dvd and david hunter is always saying "i have work to do"
I wonder if Ronnie Allen would’ve been able to keep a straight face doing that
Brilliant! He got Ronald Allen's ham acting off to a tee
The old joke was which was more wooden- the scenery or Ronnie Allen's acting!
He got the eyebrows perfect! They needed their own credit!
He was just Crossroads’ version of Corrie’s William Roache, “wooden ham”!
Correct - They should bring him back
Mike looks like a cross between Prince Charles & Clint Eastwood, but still dead funny!
I didn't know that Prince Charles was the Crossroads manager
Yes his impression did veer into him.
I'm falling about laughing at the Mavis Hooper character.. why is it she is just like Steptoe??
escSocial haha!🤣
As always with most of Yarwood impersonations, they were never perfect but they did always hit the most important spots.

this very, very funny thing to do is a trial

@darrowby1972 That is so cruel but funny LMAO
@nasilemak2008 Mike Yarwood was NEVER a ventriloquist. Do you know what one is?
Ventriloquist??
I never saw the point of impressionists - the real people and characters they copy are always so much funnier!
Ventriloquist???
