I loved Spitting Image.
Sunday evenings were the highlight of the week for me, programmes like Bullseye followed by dramas such as Poirot then Spitting Image.
Others like The New Statesman were also good political satire.

It won't be as good. It won't have the same shock impact, and we'll be underwhelmed.
I would love it to be a success, but I feel it won't happen.

The problem they have is, can it be funnier than the real thing?
Meghan and Harry look great 😄

Dare the makers create a puppet of a BAME MP - bound to be cries of racial stereotypes etc. Just look at the reaction when a cartoonist did a perfectly fair mock up of Serena Williams having one of her tantrums. |

Dianne Abbott counting policemen, is an easier target than Rees-Mogg counting coins?
Why so? Because she has the IQ of a cricket ball?
How about Nichola Sturgeon as wee Jimmy Krankie?

Hope it's good, but will be hard to be
I always think back to The Thick Of It, and Armando Innaucci basically saying he couldn't write it anymore because it's basically happening in front of your eyes

The other major problem is that comedy nowadays has to be so PC that it'll probably be rendered as unfunny.
