Rory Bremner

Bremner first came into the limelight in 1985, when his single, N-N-Nineteen Not Out (released under the name, "The Commentators") was a big hit in the British charts. It was a parody of Paul Hardcastle[?]'s number one hit, Nineteen, with Bremner impersonating cricket commentators including Richie Benaud and Jim Laker[?].

Bremner soon had his own BBC2 show, and later moved to Channel 4, where his output became more satirical and the sporting commentators gradually came to represent a smaller proportion of his repertoire. Having teamed up with veterans, John Bird and John Fortune, he now hosts Bremner, Bird and Fortune, which has won numerous awards. Occasional one-off specials are also shown, with Bremner impersonating Tony Blair and various other government figures.
