A milestone in television comedy, Spitting Image lifted satire to a new level for over a decade through the 1980's and 90's.

No target was safe from the series' gunsights: politicians of all persuasions, Ronald Reagan, the Pope and even the Royal Family could find themselves up for a ribbing on any given programme. Exceptionally topical, the series was worked around that current weeks news stories to retain its biting edge and many famous impressionists honed their craft portraying the voices behind the wickedly accurate rubber puppets: Chris Barrie, Rory Bremner, Phil Cornwell, Steve Coogan, John Culshaw, Harry Enfield and Kate Robbins (among many others).

I remember watching this in the early 90's as a little boy, I didn't get the political jokes, but I thought it was funny anyway, plus it was one of those times when you laughed because your dad did. Good times, and I'll have to buy this because I will get the jokes now doing politics at A level.

Thank you for finally releasing it on DVD!

 Great classic!

With all the cock-ups in Govt these days, and the celebs and wannabe celebs floating around in the media, this would be a brilliant time for the fabulous Spitting Image team to produce some more rib-splitting episodes ... I'd love to see their takes on Amy Whinehouse, Pete Doherty, Premiership footy players and their WAGS, Gordon Brown, Jacqui Smith, Gordon Ramsay, ... etc.

This is something which will always produce lots of laughs... and even with Europe squeezing our humour to be too PC, not to mention the recent batch of hit 'n' miss sketch shows on TV, there's still loads of material out there to justify Spitting Image's return!

Come back guys, we need you for some topical, jovial relief!! ;-)
