Big Impression is a British comedy sketch show. It was formerly known as Alistair McGowan's Big Impression after impressionist Alistair McGowan, but renamed Big Impression to accommodate female impressionist Ronni Ancona, who does almost as many impressions as McGowan. In September Alistair McGowan appeared as guest on GMTV and explained that there would not be another series of Big Impression due to the unpopular first series.
