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.

@You Tube Well it the MI6 actually telling him that theier intel was not conclusive about the WOMD, but he said that that was good enough for him. That's what I been told. so either way " his didn't bother to fact check" is proof enough to me that he already made up his mind. Sorry, still a liar and a war criminal who should be in jail. I never understood why people didn't see through his fake smile. He always had this crocodile smile about him from day one; and you know what they stand for, just like the animal's tears

Spitting Image has all the Tory cabinet nailed perfectly. Especially evil clown Johnson 🤡. Must be a dream that the sketch’s write themselves. Biggest problem is being able to keep up with the real life chaos.

One sketch in the 80's they did when Margaret Thatcher was PM was of her ordering dinner whilst at a cabinet meeting and the waiter asked, "..and the vegetables?" to which she replied, "Oh, they'll have the same!" Priceless comedy.

Always great to see your work.It must be difficult now that the reality is crazier than you could portray. For starters, how many Boris'isis are there, and who is currently pulling his strings? Apart from you that is. Is the plural of Boris Bori, Borum, or Borisimus?

Still hope we'll be able to see Boris in a big fluffy white lions mane and a small painted on lions nose, his true calling in life! Always excited for anything Spitting image produces! ❤❤❤
Also works perfectly in German. "König der Lügen" instead of "König der Löwen".

I remember the original series as well. The Chicken Song, Thatcher ordering food and telling the waiter "Oh, the vegetables! (Referring to the cabinet ministers) They'll have the same", The Presidents brain is missing. All of them were very close to the mark. I think it was popular back then as it is becoming popular now to watch as it basically shows what a lot of us were already thinking anyway. At one point it switched to a different channel. I think it was channel 4 or ITV as I remember seeing adverts in-between after a couple of years.
"Or worse, Newcastle." 😂
