With the world getting smaller and more turbulent, the time couldn’t be more appropriate for an iconic British satirical take on global events. Produced by Avalon (Taskmaster, The Russell Howard Hour, Catastrophe, Breeders, Last Week Tonight With John Oliver) throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, over 100 puppets have already been developed by socially distanced teams of artists ready for launch, including: Adele, Angela Merkel, Baby Yoda, Barack Obama, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Boris Johnson, Boris Baby, The Johnson Dog, Brad Pitt, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall, Chrissy Teigen, Covid-19, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dominic Cummings, Dominic Raab, Donald Trump, Dwayne Johnson, Ed Sheeran, Elon Musk, Elton John, Emmanuel Macron, Greta Thunberg, Grimes, Gwyneth Paltrow, Harry Styles, Idris Elba, Ivanka Trump, Jacinda Ardern, James Corden, Jeff Bezos, Joe Biden, Jürgen Klopp, Kanye West, Keir Starmer, Kim Kardashian, Lewis Hamilton, Mark Zuckerberg, Matt Hancock, Meghan Duchess of Sussex, Melania Trump, Michael Gove, Michelle Obama, Narendra Modi, Oprah Winfrey, Piers Morgan, The Pope, Prince Andrew, Prince Charles, Prince Harry, Prince William, Priti Patel, The Queen, Richard Branson, Rishi Sunak, RuPaul, Taylor Swift, Tiger Woods, Tyson Fury, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, all falling under the show’s legendary gaze.
A next generation of satirical writers and voice artists are working with established talent to drive a new wave of ‘public service satire’. Writers on the show include: Al Murray, Bert Tyler-Moore & George Jeffrie (The Windsors), Bill Odenkirk (The Simpsons), Brona C. Titley (The Tracey Ullman Show), David X. Cohen (The Simpsons), Gemma Arrowsmith (The Tracey Ullman Show), Jason Hazeley & Nico Tatarowicz (Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe/Murder in Successville), Karl Minns (Russell Howard’s Good News), Keisha Zollar (Astronomy Club), Laura Major (Famalam), Matt Forde, Patric Verrone (The Simpsons), Phil Wang, Richard Herring, Sophie Duker (Frankie Boyle’s New World Order) and Travis Jay (Dave Chapelle and Friends) with many more joining the growing team. Voice artists include: Billy West (Futurama), Debra Stephenson (The Impressions Show), Debra Wilson (Family Guy), Guz Khan (Man Like Mobeen), Indira Varma (Game of Thrones), Jess Robinson (The Imitation Game), John DiMaggio (Futurama), Lewis MacLeod (Dead Ringers), Lobo Chan (Killing Eve), Luke Kempner (The Imitation Game), Matt Forde (Unspun) and Phil LaMarr (Pulp Fiction), with many more joining as the puppet cast grows.

With everything that's going on, I bet SI will have decades of material
Yes! We need it!!!
Love this British Humour top class
How fabulous! Probably can't get to London in time to see it but sure wish I could. These people are comedic geniuses and I adore them.
Brilliant I cannot wait.
We need this show now more than ever.
Please do not stop what you guys are doing! 🤣🤣
Remember you guys are the second coming of this original series much lived in the 80's .. #comesfullcircle
Just got back from Birmingham REP and the show was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. Please, please continue 🙏 I need to see it again.
I await the DVD
This is a brilliantly hilarious show. Can’t wait for this new live one! 😂
If only we had quality satire like this in Australia
What we need is a State Visit to America by these guys (the puppets)

Of course it was canceled, can't have the TRUTH shown about who/how the idiots operate now can we. Crazy how media has so much control to shutdown the Truth being shown on both sides.
This is looking good! It's what we need.
Omg yes
Bloody great!
I hope Spitting Image , record the live show , for their fans who cannot travel half way around the world , or even over the pond , & maybe even from the big chunk of land over est of the UK .
SAVE THE WORLD OR DIE TRYING !!! Funniest thing to happen yet ! NEVER GIVE UP I just found out about you guys ~ So excellent , LOVE your humor and ripping puppets ~
I would love to see you guys make a spinoff series base off of youtube celebrities and big name titles.
Al Murray and Matt Forde .. as a 15 year brit loving in Holland I'd missed the people behind. . Please invite Ian.Hislop to be involved again somehow
We absolutely need an doll off Klaus Schwab and thats FAST !!!!!! Love your show and have sins the 80s 😆
LOVE IT!!!
Nice one 🏴
This is going to be wonderful

That's gunna be a cracker! Wish I could be in Birmingham for the show but it's over 17,000kms away, so... Best of luck with it! 👍
This could be adapted easily to hit a theatre near you. I would pay to see this
Welcome back, Spitting Image. I've missed it.
I'm not even British and I would love to go a live show...hahahahahahaha!!!
Hope It's Very, VERY SUCCESSFUL!
Love Spitting Image!🤣🤣🤣......
The world needs you! Keep doing your great Show pls!
I would love to see them make an app on their website where you can put your face on there and it makes a puppet representation of you.

Would it be possible to see this a filmed recording of this a few months after the theatrical run for those of us not in the UK? (like what they did for Joseph, Cats & Hamilton)
Spitting image hands an additional responsibility to people in power and entertainment for the public. Even individuals in power couldn't wait for thier own characters to be revealed. Even mark Zuckerberg has a face on the show. I watched this show for years. Its finally the best TV all over again.
Spitting Image is genius, thanks for making us laugh 🇦🇺
Yes.
I see some new faces, specifically that Meryl Streep puppet. Curious to see what they have in store for her. Everything's looking good. Can't wait to see the show! It's going to be EPIC!
I thought that first dude was actually a puppet for a second
Margaret thatcher one coming back to life is funny. Please guys do some international politics as well. Xi Jingping/Modi and others too.
Okay, seeing puppet Greta Thunberg with that body figure in the background is creeping me the hell out for some reason.
🎉
This is my War Horse! 😉🇬🇧
They got own TV movie until confirmed release.
f amazing
Oh, cool I didn’t know the pub landlord was part of spitting image.
My man at the start legit looks like one of the puppets
Would ❤️ to see this but can't due to geography 😭.

This show is spot MFing on. I wish I lived closer. If you come to Canada please give some notice. I'll do what I can to get there. It's been years since I've seen live theatre. Would you make an Andrew Lloyd Webber puppet just for me?? Pweeeeeeeaaaaaaaaseeee?

I highly doubt those puppets are cheap to produce at all because each of them are fully custom made and are specifically designed to convey a variety of facial emotion. It's the reason why in the first season they didn't feature puppet characters like Rudy Giuliani.

It's like Avenue Q but political; I love it!
I remember when you first came to television and Prince Charles puppet's big ears would flap creating a breeze and Princess Diana's hair would blow around - that was so funny at the time. Then it seems you disappeared and when you came back with Putin, Trump, Greta, Boris, Prince Andrew and Tom Cruise - to name a few - I was immediately hooked again! Please bring your theatre production to Canada. Thank you for the humour you have inspired!
So, @Spitting Image, what's the point of you showing this 'Behind The Scenes' video when the programme itself no longer exists on Britbox? None of us are able to access even the older episodes of it when we do a search on there, are we?

Yes, we need more Spitting Image!!! Please put a puppet parody of Cardi B in it, PLEASE!!!😄😃😀😆😅🤣😂🤠
I assume the new spitting image seasons have been delayed because the big coats got to the creators and writers and are making them not say what’s actually funny and true about their characters. I’m already going to assume that this next season won’t be that funny or relatable. Hopefully they prove me wrong because season 1&2 were some of the funniest things I’ve seen
Love Brits humour.... Direct and satire
Wonderful Wonderful and a wonderful cheerful glee to you. And may I also add that your puppets remind me of "Alberto Aleandro Uderzo's" comic, novel from Asterix. What a wonderful through back in time. Thank you 😊
Have you made puppets that look like yourselves (or is that off-limits)?

Well the Tom Cruise one probably is
The Michael Gove doll is some bullnonsense. Michael Gove is more beautiful than a literal Angel. Pretty like the final mirage of a waterfall to a guy about to die out in the desert heat. With gopher teeth. Eyes that are somehow blue and green simultaneously. Milky/peachy skin. About another 30 other beautiful unique things about him. One of the most beautiful men that could ever possibly exist. That doll is just some tiny purple jowly horsenonsense. That is nowhere near him.
Where are you now when we need humour on war.
Gotta put Ye in there.
