Watching Billy Connolly clips thing on tv - who is this actress (I think! Maybe presenter) in the audience. 80s era? I know her face but can't think of the name. Def not Penelope Keith in case anyone says that.

She was well known in the 70s and 80s for doing impersonations of Thatcher

It rather dents confidence in Google search doesn't it?

Knew it was was Janet Brown but only after helpful pp told me it was!

Knew who it was but couldn't remember her name. Yes she was a comedian/impressionist. Think she had her own show at one time?

Janet Brown, impressionist/impersonator. Used to do a good Margaret Thatcher.
There used to be a Janet Kay who was an impersonator, Jamiriquai's mam.

There were quite a few of these artists on TV back in the day.
