Ronni Ancona is going to be in her own show on Friday 25th May. I'm so glad cos she's lovely and funny. Should be an improvement on Ruddy Hell its thingy and wotsisface.:)
Not too surprised that she's going to do Amy Winehouse!
If the stuff she did with McGowan is anything to go by, (and I have the same prob with Ruddy Hell) the sketches on these things are too long and would be funny if they lasted 30 seconds rather than the 3 minutes.....
I prefer her as an actress than a so-called impressionist (I can't think of a single one she does particularly well). She was really good in Gideon's Daughter.
I think she's great and very accurate. When I first saw her Judy Finnegan I thought it was nothing like her and then when I next saw Judy I suddenly could only see the pathetic, funbling, downtrodden wife highlighted by Ronni A. I think that's when an impressionist really hits the mark - when you revisit the original you see that person in a totally new way.

McGowan's Richard Madeley was one of his best, but Ancona's Judy Finnigan was just rubbish.
Should be a piece of piss to replicate the look. The voice could be tricky.
I like Ronni and wish her well in this venture but the writing has gotta be top-notch and I fear (and suspect) it won't be.
I nearly melted when she was on QI...she could have turned Stephen Fry straight after that appearance.
I've enjoyed Harry Enfield a lot though - but I'm looking forward to this now just as much.
beat me to it! i'd watch her over and over again
Her Audrey Hepburn...mmmmmmm.
After this and My Family, I'm starting to think Eric Morecambe was right when he joked that the BBC stood for "Bring Back Comedy"
That's true It's actually turning out to be worse than the Enfield/Whitehouse show
