TV Scoop has been trawling the You Tube archives recently, looking for classic TV clips for you to enjoy all over again. It's come up with this corker - a Comic Relief spoof of the excellently low-budget Blankety Blank gameshow. It features a cast made up of the stars from Little Britain, The Office, Spaced (or Shaun of the Dead for US readers) and Green Wing (as well as most of the other funny shows currently on TV) all doing some mighty impressive impressions (Martin Freeman makes a surprisingly accurate Johnny Rotten). Best of all is Peter "Voice of Darth Maul" Serafinowicz doing a near-perfect Terry Wogan impression.
Oh, and if you missed the joy of seeing Kinga from Big Brother stick a wine bottle up her mimsy, TV Scoop has been linking to that too.

OK,
I know there are big differences in popular culture here and in Britain, but, I don't recognize a single person/show mentioned here (with the exception of Johnny Rotten, whom I disliked even when he was actually semi-famous). And without some background, the clip isn't really that funny.
Fairs fair. I promise next time I pick up on a clip, I'll pick one that's full of American actors I've never heard of. How's that sound?
