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.

The people who put Spitting Image together are geniuses. Probably the most accurate portrayal of how most of us see this madhouse world we live in.
They're just too alike, sometimes I forget I'm watching puppets 👀😬🤣

We're watching puppets in the news all the time. We need to get back in power.
This looks to be an absolutely SMASHING stage production!
Saw the show in Brum tonight. Absolutely brilliant, the puppeteers are amazing. An awesome night 🌙
I love seeing the changing facial expressions of the puppeteers as they shown rehearsing here
I went to see the show tonight with two friends. My stomach was aching watching the Suella possessed evil witch. Such a well put together fast paced show. I stood up for an ovation I practically stood alone. Well, I thought it was worthy of one. Applause!
What an amazing crew. Thank you for giving us these characters.
Waiting desperately
Please someone record this
If possible, could you make a version of this viewable online for the people that can't make it to your UK location due to living in different parts of the world? Like how Hamilton, Cats and Joseph his streaming/DVD/VHS after a while. Ideally I think after the show finishes it's theatrical run after you've gotten the people who could see it in your area to see it who could see it to make it fair I think. Unless there's some kind of livestream plays online going on that's not as well known or something. Although I do understand that maybe seeing stuff on stream or film takes away the in person-Ness of theater where you feel the energy of the crowd and there's always the chance cast members can say a different line one night that wasn't said b4 that makes it much better or something.
Me gan is looking extra spicy
Feels like this has been coming for years.
What a team! ❣️:D
that's going to be so bonkers! are they going to stream it pay-per-view live? hope they release a video of the show!!!
I was in the audience at the Birmingham Rep on the opening night, Wednesday 1st Feb, and the show was fantastic. The actors, timing and choreography were brilliant - I was wondering how they were going to work the puppets - very clever. For me Suella Braverman and the Queen stole the show !!

I cannot get enough of this channel. I would love to own a spitting image puppet version of myself. So much has happened and I can't wait to see the new content this channel puts out in reference to it.
First Saturday Live, now Live on Stage. *WHAT A BREAKTHROUGH!*
It must be a once in a lifetime expierence to see the puppets live on stage

If I was financially able to, I’d be in England right now just for this.
I really like how they're getting people of the races that the puppets are to play them. I think that does a great good, especially when it comes to overlooked puppeters. Jim Henson would be proud.

Brilliant! I'd like to see it!
There’s more spirit in these puppets than in the real flesh and blood puppet heads of state.
Watch Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey singing the song " Money makes the world go round" from "Cabaret". It would be brilliant if Spitting Image done a Harry and Meghan sketch performing to that song, as it's so them.l 😂
I really hope you'll uploaded the full show online.
Damn, that looks awesome! That Zelenski and Blair puppet, wow!
They are brilliant!
Govey in Paris still gets me every time PMSL
As John Cleese put it so brilliantly: I do not make jokes, I point them out. Spitting image is a master of that.
I was there for opening night, I've never laughed so much at the theatre. it was so good I'm booking again.
This people are awesome!
Genial !! Congrats for your awsome job, Team !
The best TV comic series!
I can't wait to see this
Are yall coming to the usa?? Id deff go !! Jeff Dunham here is corny and way past prime
Very good
WoW!
Is it me or is the Tom Cruise puppet taller than the real guy?
Grate 😃 But we need an Claus Schwab DOLL 😁
schoolboy Rishi is an interesting take
Genius
I see my boy Joe Biden!

"The show was cancelled by ITV on 24 October 2022." - didn't know that. Series Episodes Originally aired First aired Last aired 1 10 3 October 2020 28 November 2020 2 10 11 September 2021 2 December 2021 So the reboot only got two series & twenty eps total. By the amount of uploads & compilations on this channel I'd assumed it was more, but then I don't have BritBox. Oh well, tv's loss is non-West End theatre's gain... EDIT: Compare that to the original's 1984-1996 run: No. of series 18 No. of episodes 132 Original release 26 February 1984 - 18 February 1996

Please, please, PLEASE make a series of Alec Baldwin episodes. Put him in various jobs where he is given increasingly harmless bits of equipment but STILL manages to kill a co worker. Have Donald Trump voice the puppet. Please...I beg you. I have ideas.
Exposed puppeteers take me out of the moment, possibly something like a green suit to make them less obvious
