''Cool It'' is a British television comedy series which first aired on BBC Two between 1985 and 1990. It was a vehicle for comedian Phil Cool. Impressions ranged from political and important figures such as Robin Day, Roy Hattersly, Arthur Scargill, Neil Kinnock, The Pope and Ronald Reagan to popular celebrities, comedians and musicians such as Mick Jagger, Bryan Ferry, Mike Harding, Terry Wogan, Billy Connolly, Clive James, Rik Mayall and his signature impression, Rolf Harris. Fictional characters like Quasimodo, Bugs Bunny and E.T were also impersonated; Cool even created personalities for inanimate objects such as Morris Minors and Volkswagen Beetles. ==Series 1== The first series of three, 25-minute episodes were first broadcast between 30 August and 13 September 1985, on Fridays at 10pm. Cool wrote all of the material for this series himself. The series was made on a shoestring budget; the set was very basic, with a relatively small audience and barely any props to assist him. In this series he impersonated the entire cast of ''The Young Ones'' including Alexei Sayle. It also featured Prince Charles interviewing Mick Jagger, the Pope ordering something from a Fish and Chip shop, Rolf Harris painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling, Mike Harding singing the song "Spewie, Ewie" and Quasimodo playing the guitar whilst singing "The Bellringer's Blues". Fellow Comedian and friend Jasper Carrott was associate producer on this series. Each series of ''Cool It'' had a different set of opening titles, almost every episode would start with a sketch before the titles rolled. For Series 1 it had an animated version of Cool's head pulling various faces behind a light-blue background. After the theme tune had finished the ''Cool It'' titles would drop down underneath the animated head and the episode would start. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cool It (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
