Peter Sellers arrives in a full Nazi uniform and immediately does Hitler. He notes that Hitler had more hair than Churchill, told funnier jokes and could dance. Churchill, he adds, couldn't even manage that.
In this conversation with Michael Parkinson, Sellers talks about the night he and Spike Milligan got into his Mercedes with Sellers in the helmet and uniform, barking fake German orders and ending up in a Greek restaurant in Bayswater with no memory of how they got home. He also talks about the RAF, where he first discovered impersonation as a serious pursuit, including the Christmas Eve in Assam when he wandered into an officers' mess at three in the morning wearing a borrowed air commodore's insignia and got away with it.
He gave up the drums when a man watched him play for half an hour at a Birmingham town hall gig and asked why he didn't play a Flanagan and Allen song. That was enough.
