The Kate Robbins Show
UK, ITV (Granada), Sketch/standup, Colour, 1988
A starring vehicle for the exciting impressionist, promoted through the ranks from her all-siblings show Robbins to the series shared with her brother (Kate And Ted's Show). She shone once again, startling audiences with her convincing impersonations of, among others, Cilla Black, Anneka Rice, Princesses Anne, Diana and Sarah, Cagney and Lacey, Tina Turner, Julie Andrews, Margaret Thatcher, Raisa Gorbachev, Debbie Greenwood and cast members from soaps Emmerdale Farm and Neighbours.

Pilgrims Rest
UK, BBC (Tiger Aspect), Sitcom, colour, 1997
The formidable talents of comedy actors Gary Olsen and Gwen Taylor combined for this series that centred around the comings and goings at a transport café. It was Taylor's second new BBC sitcom of the year, following A Perfect State. Olsen played Bob Payne, a former rock and roll roadie who, some six years previously, bought Pilgrims Restaurant, a thriving Kent truck-stop. A £50,000 loan from his sister Tilly (married to a successful Mancunian businessman) helped pay for the joint - she willingly put up the money because the place seemed a good investment and likely to settle her flaky brother. But one year after the purchase a new by-pass took most of the traffic away from the road and the café's customers went with it; subsequently, it fell into decline and only managed to stay open thanks to the patronage of a few dogged regulars. The most obvious visual pointer to the deterioration was the malfunctioning neon roof sign that should have read Pilgrims Restaurant but mostly said 'Pilgrims Rest' (thus the series' title) and, variously, 'grim Rest', 'pigs aunt' and other words accrued by illuminating only certain letters. (This device was also used for the opening shots of Fawlty Towers.) Despite all this, Bob seems happy enough with his business: he's hardly money-motivated and his ambitions lie elsewhere - in his low-key pursuit of the café's beautiful antipodean waitress Pamela, for instance. But then Tilly arrives on the scene. Her husband Duncan has ditched her, causing her to lose their house, her income and all of her belongings, and now she wants to recoup her £50,000 loan from Bob. Naturally, he cannot pay it; Tilly insists he sell the café, but then relents, anticipating the problems this would cause her brother, who would probably end up living with her anyway. So she decides to stay on at Pilgrims Restaurant while she gets her life back on track, the clashes between brother and sister forming the basis for the storylines. The café's regular customers were policeman Drew Dunstable (Constable Dunstable) and his academic and keen new cop partner Quentin; wide-boy cab driver Ronnie; French trucker Didier; and a suave businessman, Mo, who, much to Bob's chagrin, hopes to rekindle a romance with Pamela. She causes most of the male pulses to quicken, not least with stories of her other job: a nude model at the local college where she is a part-time student. Tilly's errant husband Duncan (played by John Duttine) turned up in the final episode. Given a distinctly American look, Pilgrims Rest had likeable characters and a fine, believable location, but for all its plus-points it failed to spark.
