I was at the Imperial War Museum in London two months ago and saw the Thatcher puppet. And as I was admiring this memento from my childhood, a little girl behind me also saw the puppet and broke into tears. Stating "Mommy she's scary!"

In america as a kid in the 80s my memories were due to my dad introducing me to Phil Collins...that video for Land of Confusion..in fact discovering it again a few months ago on KZread my first comment was "remember those puppets from the Phil Collins video" lol sadly because in America it never got the spotlight it deserved here!!

Guess what everybody!! I read in the paper that, after 23 years, Spitting Image IS COMING BACK!!!! YAHOO!!!! 🤟🏻🥳

Edwina Currie, who got a lot of fame for being John Major's bit on the side, has been milking hard her brief time in the public view. It's a pity it wouldn't be possible these days as like Rory said people are too afraid of politican's and what the Mail etc. would say.

Notice he never mentioned a certain TV presenter who went Yesssssssssssss, and kissed a mirror. 😆

Every spitting image night the roof would come off the house,bloody brilliant... British people only knew politics through spitting image....the one in a leather jacket,the one who sprays everywhere. ....one of the greatest shows ever on British TV, democracy on show...

Anything even close to spitting image these days would get classed as a hate crime and you would find yourself being banned from not only online platforms but from public services and banks.

It would be so cool if the cast of Spitting Image would dedicate an episode or two of all of America's politicians. Love the Donald Trump character. Hopefully they're already at work developing president/elect Joe Biden and Vice President elect Kamala Harris. Would love to see you guys turn loose on Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz. Are there any plans to bring Spitting Image to American television???
