Prince Andrew!

Demonic Cummings!

Donald Trump, Beyonce, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Vladimir Putin, Bernie Sanders, Elon Musk, RuPaul, Adele and James Corden will also appear.
Trump jokes are a bit over-done now, some people seem to think even his name is a punchline. But if they have someone who can actually write satire, he's a goldmine!

Who is that bottom right?

Who is that bottom right?

I think it's the facebook guy?

[Rob!]

Seems a shame to put new episodes of such a classic show on Britbox but I bet it makes it easier for them to go slightly nearer the knuckle with the jokes as opposed to the main channels where they’d doubtless get loads of complaints from both sides.

[bots]

Who is that bottom right?

isn't that Dominic or William maybe?

It's hilarious how the comment section of the Mail is filled with people whinging about the "left wing propaganda" when the whole point is to take the piss out of those in power.

While on Twitter people were chimping out because Greta Thurnberg was featured - if they're annoying nearly everyone, they're doing something right

Well, exactly - good comedy should be where nobody is safe from ridicule. Shame I don't have BritBox, I'd like to watch this.

Hmm, maybe Captain Jack Sparrow will be featured? Yo-yo-hum and a bottle of rum?

after one show

Too intense for USA Church goers.

‘Spitting Image’ Producer Says NBC Backed
Out Of Series Because Of “Too Much Nervousness”
https://deadline.com/2020/10/spitting-image-jon-thoday-nbc-1234592851/
[The show hastily inserted a skit
on U.S. President Donald Trump contracting coronavirus before its premiere,
for example, and sends
up powerful tech executives including Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
It is the second time that NBC has not taken Spitting Image to series.
A U.S. pilot was produced for the network in 1986 — Spitting Image:
Down and Out in the White House — but it was never picked up to series.]

Deadline has contacted NBC for comment.

This is the Spitting Image Thread
LT use this.

[The Slim Reaper]

Tell him, Arista :fist:

[Oliver_W]

Like I said in the other thread, while it's funny something feels a bit ... toothless? about it. There are no real monsters in the upper echelons of politics anymore. Both Trump and BoJo are basically living cartoons as it is :laugh: I wouldn't be surprised if Trump really did want the virus to join his cabinet tbh.

[bots]

I just watched it, they have good sketches with harry and meghan, and cummings is good too .... he is an alien that wants to eat Boris's baby :laugh:

Agreed.

I wasn't alive to see the original series, but I've seen clips here and there. I've also heard older relatives talk about it in terms like 'how did they not get sued?!'

But now? There's just nothing there. No teeth.

[bots]

the original spitting image was really good, this new incarnation is just not funny or insightful at all
