BBC America: Dead Ringers skewers *

[cosmicdot]

Saturdays at 11 pm/et, 8 pm/pt
Starting November 8th


No public figure is safe. No topic taboo. From a talented team of impersonators, Dead Ringers takes satirical digs at everything from the newsworthy to the naughty. George Bush, Tony Blair, Saddam Hussein, the Queen, Elton John, Ozzy Osbourne, Russell Crowe and more... all are treated with equal irreverence.



Episode One

George W. Bush tapes "Sesame Street" over the latest terrorist warning and plans to invade UK accessories clothing store, Tie Rack, while Bargain Hunt host David Dickinson goes on a personal search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Elton John's latest release is a Royal statement on the revelations of Princess Diana's butler. Alan Rickman advertises a DVD of film clips, showing him playing the token British bad guy, and gladiator Russell Crowe calls in the builders to makeover some ancient Roman ruins.

There's a look at "The Blobs" (the BBC's biggest kids TV sensation since The Teletubbies), a brightly colored collection of cute and cuddly creatures talking nonsense, and legendary UK talk show host Michael Parkinson hones his interview technique on a lady at a bus stop and a passing refuse collector.
