Just a shame for him that impressionists have fallen out of fashion.
He was a very entertaining comedian and I hope he's enjoying his long and well-earned retirement.
Just checked Mike Yarwood's Wiki entry and was sorry to see he has been treated for depression and is now in a nursing home.
Another of his contemporaries was Scottish impressionist Stanley Baxter, who is still with us aged 97, but his wiki account reports that he too had his personal problems.
So many talented funny guys seem to have been hiding a far-from-funny side to their persona.
