People have been sharing their ‘limited impressions’ and they’re really very good

Here’s Dorian Lynskey who was prompted by the death of Denis Norden to share his ‘limited impression’ of the great man.

I used to do an impression of Denis Norden which consisted of smiling wrily, pushing my glasses up my nose, suppressing a chuckle and saying "Bloopers." Couldn't say anything else in his voice. That was it. What's your most limited impression?

Lots of people shared theirs and – while we can’t speak for the quality because we haven’t heard them – just the thought of them is enough to make us smile.

Plus, it they make us feel much better about our one word Sean Connery (‘yeshhhhh’).

I can say “Hey Bert” in Ernie’s voice flawlessly but can say no other words and am also unable to repeat it if asked.

There’s a BBC documentary on Kate Bush from 1978 where she talks about living in Lewisham. I can do just that part of it perfectly.

@danielmaier There was that post-match interview where a triumphant Paul Gascoigne said ‘I’m away to get me suit measured!’ I can literally just do that sentence.

I scrunch up my shoulders and do a one arm sweep while exclaiming “Ruby Turner!” and that is how you do a Jools Holland impression. No need for anything else

Ben once did a brief Denholm Elliot impression that was so UNCANNY we stopped in our tracks. Never repeated.

Lean forward in chair, clasp hands between knees, push glasses up nose, roll back into chair and say “Ho, az my produzer zaid..”

Same, except with ‘…and the producer says to me, “Ronnie…”’. Nothing else after that.

I do a very similar one where I push my glasses up and say “The Nolans” (I’m doing Ronnie Corbett)
