Tracey Ullman Channels Judi Dench, Maggie Smith on HBO Series (Video)

[...] that’s just Tracey Ullman doing a spot-on impression in her new HBO series “Tracey Ullman‘s Show.”

The sketch comedy series has the six-time Emmy winner masquerading in a variety of wacky characters and celebrity impressions, including Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Camilla Parker-Bowles, Carole Middleton (Princess Kate’s mother) and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

In Ullman’s world, these ladies are quite different than in their public lives — Dench slashes tires, Smith reveals her opinion of “Star Trek” fans (hint: it’s not nice), and Merkel learns she is referred to as a “sturdy German Pussycat Doll.”

Ullman’s first taste of success on American network television was with her 1977 Fox series “The Tracey Ullman Show” — which also gave birth to “The Simpsons” — and later on with HBO’s “Tracey Takes On…” and Showtime’s “Tracey Ullman‘s State of the Union.”
