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.

it may be a very basic slapstick joke, but I do love how every time prince Andrew makes an appearance he gets brutally smacked in the head with a 2x4

They're really amazing and as you say, the performances have really beautifully observed details to them. I think the problem with this show is that it never rises above that though, if you took away the visual then it's not funny at all. It would be just as good if they were reading from a phone book - the writing really lends nothing to this show. It feels like it's been written by a bunch of 6th Formers on a Tuesday afternoon.

I remember Spitting Image from the '80s. TV of the time included McGyver, Thirty-Something and MTV. Styles of the late '60s "summer of love" was barely hanging on like a bitch-dog for thirty-somethings re-living their youth in their mid-life crisis and BBSs were the place if you had a modem or accoustic coupler. My computer club even ran a Fidonet BBS that relayed e-mail through ARPAnet so we effectively had internet in the early '80s even if it was only for e-mail.

Love this. Queen uploaded to the cloud to still run the firm; if only.
"Constitutional fuckwit" This is my new favourite insult.
It’s great to see the SI version of Succession, just after the transition from Queen to king. The Succession music playing in the background is brilliant.
I’ve had myself uploaded to the cloud! What a fantastic Lady our late great Queen was!
seeing her swear is just completion.
This is brilliant !! I hope they do more episodes.
The corgi exploding caught me by surprise and made me laugh so hard !
RIP Queen Elizabeth II 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

I'm so glad Spitting Image is still on! We watched it back in the 80s when we were stationed there!
I wanted to congratulate Prince Charles on becoming King, so I called up Buckingham Palace in London. One of the Kings footmen answered the phone. I asked him ‘Is the King around’? He said that King Charles was sitting on the throne so I said ‘Oh, well, I don’t want to disturb him if he’s on the toilet. I’ll call back later.” !
Quite funny, especially the Chinese part and the Queen on the cloud. 😆😆😅😅👌

They’re all disgusting people. What did the Queen ever do for anyone? She just sat up on her high horse in a literal palace and had her every need caterer to. I’d be surprised if she even wiped for herself. I always thought it was weird how British solider would say “for the Queen”. Those guys give their life for an old hag that has never done a thing in her life. Never had to even experience what suffering is. Phuck all of them as far as I’m concerned…
