Spitting Image is back on 09:21 - Sep 28 with 883 views | Swansea_Blue | I was only thinking about SI yesterday, so must be psychic. I’m wondering if by not having it we’ve forgotten how to laugh at ourselves and our politics (it was mainly about politics). People have become fiercely protective of their ‘side’ to the point of violence. Spitting Image was indiscriminate in its ridicule and we used to take politicians far less seriously. That may be a rubbish theory, but I think it may help ease tensions. | |

They must not make Boris just a blithering buffoon. That would play into the narrative. He must be a blithering buffoon who then slips away to his private dungeon to contemplate and plan, surrounded by 3rd Reich memorabilia... | |

Spitting Image is back on 10:44 - Sep 28 with 786 views | Oldsmoker | The article mentions HBO and the John Oliver writers doing the scripts in the US and the programme recorded in the UK. It will be a mix of US and UK politics but I suspect mainly US. The Trump character apparently tweets out of his ar*e. The Putin one is a leather-clad S&M stereotype. They will probably only introduce new characters as they come into the news for that week. I'd never heard of Dan Coats until he was sacked from his job as head of National Security and that's going to be the problem for this show - who the hell is that? I can already imagine the puppets for Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell and Lyndsey Graham. The older double-chinned politicians were never portrayed kindly as their facial features were grossly exaggerated. Fluck and Law are in their 70's now so it may be their last hurrah. | |

Disappointing. | |

I want to see the Liz Truss puppet. It could destroy her career - and deservedly too. | |
