Someone mentioned Dick Emery upthread. He was brilliant as was Stanley Baxter. They could portray women convincingly with just acting ability with no need for gallons of makeup and huge wigs. They also portrayed a range of male characters.

erm, Cliff Richards? He was old when even I was young and yet he keeps going, you have to hand it to him!

Bill Beaumont.
