	Mike Yarwood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mike Yarwood, OBE (born 14 June 1941, Stockport, England) is an English impressionist and comedian.
		Yarwood was one of the stars of British television in the 1960s and 1970s, with his own prominent shows, which changed between BBC and ITV (ATV and Thames Television) based on high profile financial deals.
		Yarwood's career hit its heights in the 1970s when he was one of a stable of stars under the BBC Light Entertainment maestro Bill Cotton, including Forsyth and Morecambe and Wise, largely assembled from talent developed in the 1960s at ITV (Benny Hill was one of the few left on the then ailing ITV network).

		In the months that followed, Mike and his family then relocated from Adelaide and moved to a small rural church in Mildura on the border of Victoria and New South Wales.
		Mike also intends to continue his study into the future so that he can 'remain fresh' as he continues along his ministry journey.
		Currently, Mike is establishing a new association for the propagation of biblical preaching and teaching in South Australia and beyond.

		Mike Yarwood OBE (born 14 March 1941) is a British impressionist and comedian.
		He never matched the 28 million achieved by Morecambe and Wise (over half of all viewers) which famously in 1977 led Queen Elizabeth II to postpone the Royal Family's Christmas dinner so that she too could join her subjects in watching the comedy duo.
		Yarwood's Christmas Special along with the Morecambe and Wise TV special and the Queen's Christmas Speech became the highlight of Christmas Day television viewing.

		Mike Yarwood was one of THE biggest British TV stars of the 60s and early 70s.
		Mike Yarwood's career really took off in a 1964 edition of Sunday Night At The London Palladium when his impersonation of Prime Minister Harold Wilson put him on the map.
		Alcohol addiction and mental health problems plagued him after his showbiz career slumped, and at a time when comedy was demanding a harder edge, Yarwood quickly lost ground to Rory Bremner and a new breed of satirists.

		Born in Stockport in 1941, Mike Yarwood was arguably Britain's number one impressionist during the 1960s and 1970s.
		Many believed that it was the election of Margaret Thatcher to Prime Minister in 1979, which was the death blow to Yarwood's act - he had never successfully impersonated women, and Mrs Thatcher defeated him.
		Born Joanne Whalley on August 25th 1966 in Manchester, this striking brunette stage and screen actress was married to the American actor, Val Kilmer, and subsequently has changed her name to Whalley-Kilmer.

		Yarwood's switch from the BBC to ITV - which paid him bigger fees and promised a larger production budget - coincided with, and probably hastened, the impressionist's decline.
		That he was a first-class mimic is beyond doubt, and he had some fine writers providing his material, but Yarwood's work suffered from a self-imposed lack of bite.
		In an era when being cutting meant being credible, Yarwood remained the good guy, refusing to go for the jugular, seeing himself as a popular entertainer and not a political satirist.

		Yarwood was still in fine fettle at this time, and his Christmas shows, in particular, attracted huge audiences.
		The BBC promoted Yarwood to the prime slot in the entire year's broadcasting when Morecambe and Wise switched channels to ITV.
		Remarkably, his viewing figures trounced the double-act's ITV rating (a point that he might have done well to remember when he himself made the same move), and it seemed, at this time, that he could do no wrong.

		THE VICTORIA Palace Theatre in London is usually the home of Mike Yarwood and his "Spectacular New Revue".
		Obviously they were not helped any by an inadequate P A and a poor mix, but with Mike Wackford's drumming frequently messy and new guitarist Roger Kelly pulling out licks that were too fast and too heavy, Starry Eyed And Laughing were not playing together as a fully integrated unit.
		On the other hand, the Sutherlands, or SB and Q as they call themselves nowadays, were tight and professional enough, but as always their playing is never as good as their material.

		He seemed to have fallen into the trap of watching his subject too closely, becoming a mimic rather than an actor.
		I felt that I was watching an impressionist of the Mike Yarwood or Rory Bremner school impersonating Blair rather than an actor playing him in a serious drama.
		Some of the members of the Royal Family, such as James Cromwell's Prince Philip and Sylvia Syms's Queen Mother, seemed one-dimensional figures, based upon popular preconceptions rather than any attempt to create rounded characters.
