Dead Ringers [06/12/2004]

Alternative title
Shakespeare’s Globe
Synopsis
Television comedy impressionist series originating on radio. Includes a sketch in which Trisha (the host of the studio participation show TRISHA) interviews a yobbish and inarticulate Hamlet (Culshaw in Elizabethan dress) about his personal issues - ‘my mother married the uncle who killed my father’. Gertrude (Jan Ravens) then joins the discussion to much audience whooping and heckling.
