Cool It is a British television comedy series which first aired on BBC Two between 1985 and 1990. It was a vehicle for the rubber-faced comedian Phil Cool. Whereas in 1985 there were irritating comedians, Cool was an "irritating impressionist" and would impersonate some of the most famous figures of the day. But these wouldn't be just vocal Impressions of the intended victims, they would be full-fledged and extremely accurate facial expressions too, with Cool being able to contort his rubbery features into a caricature semblance of whoever he was impersonating. Sometimes so uncanny was this facial transformation that he didn't need any sketch material or props to back him up and could rely solely on the transformation. Impressions ranged from political/important figures such as Robin Day, Roy Hattersly, Arthur Scargill, Neil Kinnock, The Pope and Ronald Reagan. To popular celebrities, comedians and musicians such as Mick Jagger, Bryan Ferry, Mike Harding, Terry Wogan, Billy Connolly, Clive James, Rik Mayall and his signature impression Rolf Harris. Fictional characters like Quasimodo, Bugs Bunny and E.T were also impersonated; Cool even created personalities for inanimate objects such as Morris Minors and Volkswagen Beetles.

Only Fun - Comico Show
A middle-aged man named Victor many years ago, he was forced to move to Italy to avoid persecution. Life is well established abroad: there is money, work is disputed, pasta carbonara, pizza abounds in mounds of parmesan. Despite this, Victor decides to return to Russia. The man had a wife and three children at home, who had grown inexcusably over the past 25 years, and his father was seen only in photographs from his mother's mezzanine. Victor's plan is as reliable as a Swiss watch: to establish relations with his offspring, to communicate with his wife and eliminate the man who caused the poor man's life to go downhill a quarter of a century ago. The family is discouraged by the sudden appearance of the priest. Sharp-tongued children do not accept him, but they quickly realize that daddy is rich, and each of them is awkwardly balancing on the verge of financial bankruptcy.
