I'm glad someone here is touting House of Fools! She was mental in that show. I didn't recognise her at first because she's lost a lot of weight. As an Aussie myself, her Aussie accent is flawless and I had no idea she was born here in Australia. Rob's Aussie accent on the other hand is okay but sounds more NZ.

[@RichardHartley65]

@@cinemar- we absolutely love that series in our household and can watch it over and over again. Many of the lines have become catchphrases, e.g “What fun!” and of course, “Some of them galloping. Some of them not-so-galloping.” No idea why it was so overlooked.

[@alanjones7040]

Morgana has me in stitches with her comedy , I think she's underated as a comedian/ actor !😎 House of fools was comedy gold because of Morgana.

[@stevej1154]

That was great. Morgana is always entertaining. I found it hilarious when she was on Cats Does Countdown that she was just introduced as Natalie Cassidy and kept it up for the whole show. Some people probably thought it WAS Natalie Cassidy.

[@mrhaltonok]

That seemed so mean spirited though. The whole show was for International Women’s Day, and they somehow decided that it was reasonable to mock one woman - who to be fair, has had a lot of unfair stick from the time she started as a child actress - with zero rationale to why they had picked her, or why Morgana wanted to play her as a complete simpleton for an hour. It was just a very strange choice for a woman who is a great mimic

[@formanimacion]

@@mrhaltonok im not sure it was meant to be mean spirited she was just playing her as her east end character, it was a homage and tribute if anything. she's obviously a big fan

[@gbulmer]

@@mrhaltonok I watched that episode when it was first broadcast. I realised it was a comedy. At no point did I think Morgana Robinson was Natalie Cassidy, or Natalie Cassidy is the person as portrayed by Morgana. I thought one of the funniest exchanges in the episode was 'Natalie Cassidy' saying "hung like a doughnut", and Sussie Dent saying "I'm going to steal that" and writing it down. That blew the entire studio away! 😂 Morgana seems to impersonate Natalie Cassidy with joy and maybe even love, I don't follow 'celebrities'. Did Natalie Cassidy say _anything_ about her portrayal? I believe Morgana had impersonated her before. Has Natalie Cassidy objected to Morgana's impersonations before that episode? Maybe people underestimate or misjudge Natalie Cassidy because of the character she portrays on TV? Best Wishes All, ☮

Morgana is one of the funniest and most talented entertainers out there. Numerous times I've seen her in things where she was playing a character that I thought was a real person, and didn't even know it was her in f/x make up. She was one of my favorite people on Taskmaster as well.

[@frasierfreak92]

Morgana Robinson, Jan Ravens, Ronni Ancona and Debra Stephenson are basically the four dames of female impressionists now, they’re all so talented it’s a shame we don’t have Spitting Image for them to showcase their talents! Not sure Kate Robbins does impressions much now but she was one of the best back in the day, and her daughter Emily Atack is good too. I always think female impressionists have it harder because female voices don’t necessarily have the same huge range of tones that a male voice has, so it’s harder to copy them as they’re not as distinctive. And if they are distinctive, you really have to nail it, which is why Thatcher was only ever done well by two people - Faith Brown and Steve Nallon.
