Spitting Image is to return to screens on streaming service BritBox UK this autumn, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Duke of York among those set to be mocked in puppet form.

The satirical TV show, made famous in the mid-1980s, will also target Donald Trump, Beyonce and Boris Johnson.

It's the first original commission from the BBC and ITV's streaming service.

Co-creator Roger Law is on board as executive producer, and said he had declined to revisit the show until now.

"I've refused to resuscitate Spitting Image for years but when my pension ran out and my palm was crossed with silver what could an old man do?" he joked.

"The new Spitting Image will be global through a uniquely British eye, it will be more outrageous, audacious and salacious than the previous incarnation."

I think it will be on ITV
after a few months.

BritBox is not Worth it

Cool, hope it's funnier than the other recentish imitations.
