Dead Ringers Specials: Episode Guide & Ratings

Gladiator's Maximus discusses plans for renovations to some ancient ruins with an unsuspecting builder and plumber, and Doctor Who visits cabaret clubs.

Kim and Aggie from How Clean Is Your House and Pop Idol's Simon Cowell are among the new impressions joining some old favourites, including the Queen's real Christmas Speech and a heart-warming surprise visit from George Bush.

The impressions show looks at what we can expect from 2004, including Lord of the Rings Part 4 directed by Richard Curtis, and a shocking siege situation on the set of Griff Rhys Jones's Restoration.

The impressionists take a humorous look at the battle for the American presidency. George Bush canvasses support in London, plus there's an election ad for John Kerry and a special episode of The West Wing.

The impressionists give us their take on what happened to Gandalf after the Lord of the Rings years and the Auf Wiedersehen, Pet team build Darth Vader a new Death Star.

There are political impressions aplenty in an edition that coincided with election night. Tony Blair takes questions from a studio audience and a man campaigning for the Lovely Party explains their policies.

David Tennant's Doctor invites previous incarnations of himself round on Christmas Day, and the Queen takes to the streets to ask the public what should go in this year's Christmas speech. Plus an irreverent take on Bleak House.
