	"Dead Ringers" (2002) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Step forward the incredibly successful Dead Ringers, who in one bound appear on our screens, leaving their radio careers on hold for a few moments.
		Like all impressionist material, Dead Ringers focuses largely on current issues, particularly with its portrayals of George Bush Junior, Tony Blair, and several other high-ish profiles from the political world.
		Dead Ringers is also eager to take on international figures, such as Darth Vader helping out in the stormtroopers' bakery ("the crust is strong in this one"), and his nemesis Obi Wan Kenobi trying to purchase a second-hand car ("I'll give you two thousand now, plus fifteen when we get to Aldershot").

	BBC News \| REVIEWS \| Dead Ringers: Smarting laughs
		New impressions comedy Dead Ringers has come to television for a one-off pilot in the hope that it can live up to the success of its Radio 4 original - and it does.
		The clearest sign that Dead Ringers has come from radio, however, is in its one failing: the impressions do not look as good as they sound.
		So the makers of Dead Ringers have done a difficult job extremely well and this edition is a tryout that truly deserves a series.

	dOc DVD Review: Dead Ringers (1988)
		Dead Ringers does suffer slightly from some lackluster performances by some of its secondary characters, but the deficiency is hardly noticeable.
		Dead Ringers is a dark film and certainly not one for all tastes, but fans of Cronenberg and those interested in seeing a creative and well-designed character study that pulls no punches should definitely check it out.
		Image Transfer Review: Originally filmed in 1.33:1 and presented theatrically at 1.85:1, Dead Ringers is presented in widescreen matted to 1.66:1, as per David Cronenberg's request.

		The British television series Dead Ringers shows just how close the British and Australian senses of humour are.

	Dead Ringers (1988): Reviews
		An astonishing tour de force--especially for Irons, whose sense of nuance is so refined that one can tell in a matter of seconds which twin he is playing in a particular scene.
		Extremely unsettling, at times amusing, cold yet personal, Dead Ringers gradually and deliberately comes to horrify the viewer, rather than shocking outright.
		At times Dead Ringers also tilts out of coherence, with scenes that are dramatically stillborn.

	OFF THE TELLY: Reviews/2003/Dead Ringers
		Returning for it's second series, the Dead Ringers cast brought back some old favourites and added a number of new subjects - or victims - to their expanding repertoire: some more successfully than others.
		One gripe with Dead Ringers that remains from the first run is the fact that a few of the sketches are probably going to be lost on the casual viewer, who simply tunes in for a bit of a laugh.
		Like the similar 2DTV, Dead Ringers may may more up to the minute in a way that its great competitor The Big Impression isn't quite, but that programme showcases a greater number of more accurate impersonations and, at the end of the day, is funnier.

		Once the inevitable events are set in motion, the film drags tediously to its conclusion, and could easily have been thirty minutes shorter.
		Dead Ringers is more interested in the relationships between Elliot, Beverly, and Claire than in her physical "mutation" and the brothers' identical appearances but, these are integral components of the story.
		The novel was based on the real-life twins Steven and Cyril Marcus, who were found dead in their Manhattan apartment in the 1970's.

		Dead Ringers has a touch of class about it, poking fun at politics, tv, music and films, some of the targets may be a little too insularly British but on the whole it is spot on.
		Another good aspect is the quickfire nature of the sketches, if one doesn’t work don’t worry another will be along in double quick time.

		From radio to TV, Dead Ringers brings Doctor Who, Tony Blair, George Bush and many more to our screens in unexpected and extremly funney sketches and stunts.
		With their own twist on programmes such as Restoration, How Clean is Your House, Dr Who and The Office, Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens, Kevin Connelly, Phil Cornwell and Mark Perry prove once again that nothing is sacred and no-one is safe.
		Unless people understand what goes on in the everyday lives of the British people, Dead Ringers can be very difficult to understand.

		Impressionist Alistair McGowan leads a talented cast taking satirical digs at subjects that range from newsworthy to naughty in this wickedly funny topical comedy from the BBC Radio 4 series.
		There's Alan Bennett having tea with Thora Hird (and talking about a lot more than Earl Grey and fondant fancies), Doctor Who confusing the local tradesmen, and even good old Radio 4 isn't exempt from a gentle mocking, with Robert Robinson asking the oddest questions on Brain of Britain.
		Sharp, clever and exceptionally funny, this is satire at its finest.
