'''Dead Ringers''' is a British satirical television and radio comedy. It is made up of a number of sketches, usually containing no more than two or three characters, and is performed by a number of impressionists. Primarily, the programme focuses on British political figures and popular culture, but it also satirizes American issues, in particular the current Bush government. It stars Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens, Phil Cornwell, Kevin Connelly and Mark Perry who each play a large number of the various figures satirized.
