Seriously, give Darren Boyd the Oscar!

I mean it! This has to be the best portrayal of a real person ever. This was easily as good as Ben Kingsley as Gandhi, Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles or Geoffrey Rush as Peter Sellers!

Unfortunately this was not a motion picture.

Its that man again!!

Agreed. Darren is extremely excellent in this. His portrayal of Cleese is uncanny, as indeed is Charles Edwards's of Palin.

If it's a boy, do you think it will look like Rodney? It doesn't matter as long as it's healthy!

I thought the actos who did Cleese, Palin, and Idle were particularly good, well done to them for such a spot-on impression. You knew who the others were, obviously, but there wasn't as strong a resemblance.

Another one to mention that was great as far as likeness goes was David Threlfall as Tommy Cooper.
