One sunny afternoon in May 2016, Emma Clarke was watching Gladiator with her children. She discovered she could 'do' Russell Crowe saying "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius." It was uncanny. She could also do a spookily accurate Bill Nighy impression but what to do with this material? Would Russell Crowe and Bill Nighy ever be in a plausible situation? Together?? And after all, Emma Clarke is a woman.

Her husband Dave said: "It's just so unlikely." And that's basically how Unlikely began. A random chat on a random Monday about random stupid voices.
