Spitting Image Is Making A Come-Back

[naomi24]

Starring, Boris, Donald, Harry and Meghan et al - with Greta doing weather forecasts I hear. Sounds like fun. Will you watch?

No - to many easy targets at the moment - so it probably wont be as genuinely funny as the original

[retrocop]

Most definitely. The writers certainly have enough new material since its last outing. I rarely missed the first series. It's my sort of humour.

[andy-hughes]

Absolutely, I love satire.

Just look at this image of Mr & Mrs Trump. Hilarious. Just scroll down an inch or two.

I don't subscribe to BritBox, so no, I'll not be watching unfortunately.

[Bobbisox1]

Haven’t got Britbox but if I had then yes I’d watch it

[ladybirder]

Oh nor me. Won't we be able to watch it somewhere else afterwards?

[woofgang]

no, didn't like it the first time.

[mushroom25]

not sure it'll work - both Boris and The Donald are parodies of themselves, how can Spitting Image parody that?

[Bigbad]

Oh, it’s on Britbox. That’s a shame.
There was something similar a few years ago on ITV. Only lasted a couple of series I think.
I know who the puppets are if they are politicians or royal family, but any so-called celebrities, and I’m clueless!

[Mamyalynne]

I am not a subscriber or I may have had a peek, but was never a huge fan of the show.

[Lie-in King]

ladybirder - as it's their first original commission, I'd guess they'll be holding on to it for a fair while. Some YouTuber might do the honours, I suppose...

[ladybirder]

True LiK. We can only hope. I'll see what sort of reviews it gets as the reports are not so good.

[Haggisdj]

The world has changed since the original Spitting Image series. I don't think that they would get away with the humour that the did back then? People seem to get too upset these days...

[ichkeria]

Long overdue.
I’ll watch if I can.
They’re spoiled for choice

[gulliver1]

Well they won't have to change much for Boris, what's new, Boris has always been the puppet while Dom to pull the strings.

[Cloverjo]

I’d love to watch it, but I don’t subscribe to Britbox. Shame it’s not on terrestrial tv. I might think about subscribing if it gets great reviews.

[Cloverjo]

I don’t think Boris was around in politics when SI was last on.

[Theland]

I hope there is a balance between comedy and decency, and not cruel, to the Queen, an elderly woman and her husband.
They are defenceless.

[The Builder]

I think a Spitting Image series with Answerbank characters would be fun.

No offence, Theland ;o)
