NewsBank UK & Ireland finds significant coverage in national newspapers of the era not accessible via
Google News Archive, including:
- Bushell, Garry (15 July 2000). "'I'd love to show what i can do on TV' - A quick one with Bushell". The Sun. 1075-word interview and profile, including a biographical sketch from schooldays onwards: "Mike started doing impressions at school ... Then he became an apprentice fitter, got bored and joined the Navy for five years. ... After the Navy, Mike worked as a roof tiler by day, appearing at holiday camps and clubs. Copy Cats made his name, and he kept his face on TV throughout the Nineties appearing on Noel's House Party, Des O'Connor Tonight, Celebrity Squares and the Gen Game. Being a radio jock for four years, has been the making of him though."
