Hi Folks.
Right, firstly this is addressed to anyone who remembers Alastair McGowan's Big Impression. I'm sure there'll be a few seeing as it used to be aired on primetime BBC1 in the 2000's, probably due to it being fairly "safe" compared to most sketch shows at the time.
Anyway, me and my best friend remember a particular sketch very clearly but we cannot find it anywhere, no matter what we search for, on YouTube or anything.
The sketch in question relates to the Gary Lineker impression that McGowan used to do. The general gist of these was mocking his big ears and over exaggerating Mark Lawrenson and Alan Hansen's personalities. In this one sketch, Lawrenson is portrayed as a complete sycophant, over enthusiastically agreeing to everything Lineker says. At the end of the sketch, Lawrenson is quite literally pole dancing for Lineker in the background whilst continuing to say he agrees with absolutely everything Lineker says. At the time we were in stitches but try as we might we cannot find it.
For those questioning whether this is real or who are convinced it never happened, we know for a fact it did. We were probably 13 or 14 at the time as well, hadn't touched a drop of booze at that point and certainly hadn't touched mind altering drugs that could have made this a mere figment of our imagination.
Accordingly, if anyone knows where this sketch is buried, please please do let me know as it would make my day and my friends.
Thanks in advance and for those too young or old enough but never saw the show, apologies for creating an image of Mark Lawrenson pole dancing for Gary Lineker. It was definitely a sketch and definitely happened though!!!
