Actor and impressionist Jon Glover discusses with Ivan six things which he thinks should be better known.

He was previously a presenter on Playschool, impressionist on Radio 4’s Weekending and ITV’s Spitting Image, and portrayed Mr Cholmondeley Warner on Harry Enfield’s television series. He lives in Surrey with four Burmese cats and an endlessly patient wife.
