Re: Spitting Image returns
Watched it last night and first impression is that it lacked pace. The Boris and alien Cummings sketch was far too long. The main gags were all done in the first minute or so.
As for the Mary Poppins ( no, me neither ) ending what was that about?
Highlights: Prince Andrew* getting whacked over the back of the neck with a piece of 2x4 and Priti Patel as a BDSM mistress with Gove as the client.
"C" Must try harder.
* Apparently the puppet had to be re-inforced here so I guess this will be a regular item.

I'm sure they are deeply concerned.

Quote from The Sun: Spitting Image has been renewed for a 2021 series after breaking records in its Britbox debut.
The comedy revival only dropped its first episode over the weekend, but it's already been renewed for a second series next year.
Announcing the news, Britbox Chief Creative & Brand Officer Reemah Sakaan said: "The fantastic response to Spitting Image just goes to show how much the world needs public service satire.
"Not only can subscribers look forward to another nine weeks of anarchy but also now another series in 2021."
The satirical programme first aired in 1984 yet fans can now get a slice of the action on the online streaming platform.
The iconic political, celebrity and royal mannequins have returned with new faces thrown into the mix such as Donald Trump, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and Piers Morgan.

I wouldn’t subscribe to BritBox just for this, but the free episode they showed was quite funny. I especially liked Jared Kushner and Priti Patel

Re: Spitting Image returns
Seen some clips on YouTube. I didn't have high hopes but I'm quite amused with the Cummings as an alien take.

If it had been any good would have signed up while it ran .Sorry it in my opinion a pale shadow of it's former self. Still find Rowen and Martins laugh- in the funniest show I can ever remember.
