Rory Bremner spent years doing John Major. Then one night at Edgbaston, he nipped off to the gents during a cricket match and found himself standing next to the man himself. Absolute silence, except for the tinkling of water. He considered his options. He went with a comment about Australia's batting. In this conversation with Michael Parkinson, Bremner talks about what happens when you start getting close to the people you impersonate, about Gordon Brown showing up at his flat while an interior designer was reconfiguring the balustrade, about playing tennis with Tony Blair in France and ending up at Bryan Ferry's house with Dave Stewart, and about why Peter Cook always said good satire requires a right wing government.
