The Imitation Game is a British television game show presented by Alexander Armstrong and starring the impressionists Rory Bremner and Debra Stephenson.

Overview

Each week, two teams (captained by Rory Bremner and Debra Stephenson) go head-to-head re-enacting iconic movie scenes, revoice news footage, cover songs and celebrity voiceovers. The impressions bring celebrities - such as Donald Trump and Holly Willoughby, Boris Johnson and Adele, and Russell Brand and Mary Berry - together into unexpected situations.[1]
