It could also be if William Hartnell tried out for Han Solo nah that's too silly.

Grayson Perry's first karate lesson holds little interest for ET.

The Cliff Richard waxwork looks a bit like my Auntie Sandra.

Wired For Sandra.

Those are actually looking to recreate the unofficial Italian Starwars sequel from 1978.

Never knew that Cyril Fletcher played the guitar.



I'm pretty sure the guitarist is Will Gompertz.

I remember going to Wookey Hole as a kid, and being confronted with a whole wall of wax heads who looked only vaguely like who they were supposed to.



I mean - it's a bit like crap impressionists announcing who they're just about to do; if you need to label who they are, you might as well melt them down and start again...

Is that Prince William with Jimmy Saville knocking at the door face, Anders Breivik and Maradona far right?

Thats a Menzies Campbell sex fantasy featuring himself and Charles Kennedy.

Sue Barker on the right surely?

What's that display supposed to be? Jeffrey Dahmer's fridge?

Just realised the Camilla dummy is a dead ringer for Dummy Christine Hamilton.

The guitarist is supposed to be Andres Segovia, I think.

Deffo Segovia (source: been playing Classical guitar for 40+ years)yes yes and boy are my arms tired. He's a hero in the Classical/Spanish guitar world. He was ancient when he finally stopped performing; judging from how his waxwork actually looks better than the others (I knew it were he instantly), I suspect it might actually just be him, preserved in wax.

Although considering, it's irksome that they've not got him holding the guitar correctly (yeah, that's what stuck out for me, considering everything else on display here...)

Didn't he have 2 deformed fingers on his left hand from a fire? Why haven't they melted his (Wax) hand a bit? Too much bother?

Sherman Krank

^ No, that was Jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt.

I would like to have £5 on it being Reginald Christie

I'm still convinced it's Bill Nighy as Churchill on guitar.

(sounds like a lost line from the Intro and the Outro - Churchill on guitar, Yasser Arafat (aka Ringo) on keyboards & Hitler on vibes, nice.

Who would have thought that putting glasses on the Lionel Blair head would create a perfectly-serviceable Lou Reed figure?

Looks like the boss and one of the other executives (lose the moustache) from The Life & Times Of Tim.
