- Mike Yarwood was an English impressionist and comedian. He was one of Britain's top-rated entertainers, regularly appearing on television from the mid-1960s to the late 1980s. Having regularly attracted audiences of more than 20 million, Yarwood found the decline of his career in the 1980s difficult to adjust to. He died in September 2023 and spent his latter years at the Royal Variety Charity's care home, Brinsworth House.
In March 1980 he spoke to Dave Ghani about his career.

Brilliant interview...total Respect and honesty. That's what we miss. We don't miss sexism, racism of the time but we miss honest respect. God rest. ❤
Such a likeable man with an immense talent. Saw him live once and laughed my socks off. He will be much missed.
RIP Mike..... you made me laugh as a kid in the best times ❤️X
Great interview - I really liked the way the interviewer allowed Mike to talk. Too many today have a narrative and try to push the discussion a particular way.
MY always struck me s a lovely man.
I miss Mike. Such a lovely humble person..& ALWAYS made me laugh..god rest him.❤
Thankyou for another brilliant interview with the great Mike Yarwood
That is a gem of an interview.
I see glimpses of Jon Culshaw in Mikes own mannerisms here.....a joy to listen to him.
Really good interview thanks for posting. And nice to hear prog rockers Focus as the theme tune.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A good interviewer; asks a question (nice and short) and doesn't interrupt.
Brilliant candid honest interview. to think he’s now 80 and unlikely to be on tv again even just for another interview
probably not likely. He is residing at Brinsworth House along with Richard O Sullivan and other show biz personalities of yesteryear.
What a great interview wow Mike yarwood was one of the greatest days of Saturday evenings golden age of Tv over 19 million viewers used to tune in Mike yarwood with Malcombe and Wise and The Generation Game
R .I.P Mike yarwood
An honest & modest man. He described himself as an impressionist rather than an impersonator, differentiating himself from those who sought to get the voice as accurate as possible, I believe he made this distinction when compared to Rory Bremner. The BBC obituary called him 'the man of a thousand voices', an inaccurate cliche as he was not a gifted vocal mimic as he alludes to more than once in this interview.
It's interesting that 'amateur' interviewers often bring the best out of famous people, the interviews on this channel are far more revealing & personal than the likes of Parkinson, Harty, Aspel or even Nicholson were able to achieve.
Rip Mike
His facial expressions remind me of Tony Hancock. RIP Mike Yarwood.
I always enjoyed Mike,s shows not like the rubbish that is dished up to us nowadays
When Mike pauses and looks at the interviewer, he does resemble Tony Hancock. I wonder if he did him, too. Thanks for the upload.
He did, I recall.
He did do him and It was actually one of his best.
Below is the only 1 I have ever seen him do, and it's amazing.

Mike at the bbc best years
Mike Yarwood's best work was done on the BBC. He was taken care of there with a great team and with no commercial financial pressure of being a success. 1971-1981 at the BBC were his glory years. In 1982 he was poached by Thames Television on ITV and that was the kiss of death for his career. Moving over to ITV led to his decline. The commercial channel is very different to the BBC. They want big success to attract advertisers and thus creating the problems in production.
I agree with that. Another example of moving to ITV (ATV) were Morecambe and Wise, they came back to the BBC in c1968 and never left...
Hmmm or DID they?
@@ColinGrimshaw Yes, sadly they did
How far the BBC has fallen,
The Goodies also
13:19 good insert
Desperate times call for desperate inserts :-)
An hour and a half, on the stage, is far to long. What is his trying to say. Ken dodd did four or five hours, at 89.
It's been my experience that a lot of people go to a theatre to sleep; particularly in London as it takes it out of you all that walking, noise and pollution; people just crave a soft seat.
