Yes mucker.

Brilliant! Yarwood is a genius! Cracked up laughing at that and loved the camera crew laughing in the background.

brilliant! can't believe it's taken me until now to watch this.

This brought back some memories! Thanks for posting. There were two General Election nights in 1974: from the context this one is the first: on February 28th.

Loved Mike Yarwood.

His Eddie Waring always cracks me up.

Excellent

brilliant

Pure genius

nice video

Come to think of it perhaps we have been a bit unfair. He was the impersonator that everyone impersonated, he gave the guestures and catch phrases that everyone else copied (Ted Heath's laugh, I mean that most sincerely folks, silly Billies etc.) He was also a family entertainer unlike those that followed him. I can't imagine someone like Ben Elton getting the all time TV coverage record!

Rip Mike yarwood 2023 xx

Pipe down you fool, it's a great Harold Wilson and a good Heath. 9 out of the 10 people repeating the tired line about Yarwood being bad can't even remember him the first time round, let alone know who Wilson/Heath are.

The impressions are not bad, but the jokes are lame. Try being honest

Robin Day nonchalantly chucking a lit match in the studio

Love seeing Alistair Burnett laughing at 3:53 at Heath giving inadvertently direct answers - impartiality at the BBC?

​@@pmajudge 3 years since you wrote that...Yarwood's still alive and well!!

R.I.P Mike Yarwood

His best impression, and he had many in his arsenal, but his physical similarity to Wilson was a gift horse not to be looked at in the mouth 😃

Wrappers invented haters in 73 I think you will find...

"Hello Robin" says 'Heath' and the camera pans across to Robin Day lighting up a big cigar. How times have changed - for the better?

What's wrong with the sound??

smoking in a telly studio

Belgrano Heath

lol

Where did he disappear to...???

Do you reckon it would have been better with a laugh track?

he was very talented xfactor is crap

Audit is bad audio

when Jim Callahan became the PM Mike could never quite get him right, and of course when MrsT was elected, he joined forces with Janet Brown in an ITV show, but during the 80's the Labour movement was in such a mess that the "alternative comedy" effectively became the opposition, and Steve Mallon and Rory Breminer took over on the political impressions, Mike did have a try at Neil Kinnock, but his material was just to soft for the time, and Rory Breminer stoll the limelight, with topical humour.

Heath the perv

Was he just gay, or was he also a perv?

Zero evidence that’s the case other than a discredited muck raker. Back it up or withdraw

As I recall, he could not sing either.

Annoying it keeps cutting out

THis is breaking up all the while--not watchable.

dreadful quality

Very poor material. Not especially good impressions either.

@dilwich123 He was awful wasn't he!

he could only do about 3 impressions and if he didnt dress like the people he TRIED to impersonate you would never guess who it was, glad he is no longer on TV
