Is it just me or is this program really shit? I don't think I've laughed at any of the sketches.
I say bring back Spitting Image.

We don't normally watch much TV on the boat. Thought I'd give it a go as I like a bit of satire. My clubbing days stopped about 30 years ago.  |

But effectively it is spitting image, with a bit of CGI for good measure. I watched it for the first time tonight and found it quite funny, especially the Prince George/Airbnb sketch. |

I tried it but couldn't get to grips with it ... it had me looking back to "Spitting Image" and wishing it's return proper. Satire it may be, but it DID have an educational edge to it - in that back then, (as a teenager) at least I did KNOW who the cabinet were and that was probably down to the program. I know we're supposed to look forward but it's just not as good having a few cgi mouths.

You should look at Finnish 'comedy' shows - they put on a silly hat and a red nose, swear a bit, and say something vaguely funny - and the whole population is laughing. Perhaps they think it's better than just watching potatoes grow...?
British TV has been the best in the world, but it does seem to have been dumbed down - either to suit the population, or to drag their thinking down to the level where the Government can easily manipulate them.
Finns also copy everything: there's a Finnish 'Survivor', Finnish 'Bake Offs' and yesterday I saw some youngish Finnish men build some kind of a rocket thing and attach it to the roof of a car - oh, fuck, yeah - Finnish 'Mythbusters'! Pathetic that they can't come up with anything original. Finland has been following Swedish politics since the dawn of time, so perhaps Finns are just used to being led and told what to do.

Spitting image worked at the time because politicians then were gifts that kept on giving. Don't really think you could make a programme solely based around Boris who is the one personality I would imagine most would recognise.

The Thatcher Cabinet was certainly a gift, I think Corbyn and the current Labour fail would be good subjects as would the likes of Nigel Farage. Ive not seen Newzoids but I do miss Spitting Image. Mind you I also miss Not the Nine Oclock News.
I love Trucking anyone?

I hadn't heard of Newzoids and just watched this - I like the Doctor Who sketch at the end. So now I have something to watch for the next few days  |
