Return of the image.

The streaming service Britbox has announced it's first commission of it's own and will delight those who wish some scathing satire in these troubled times. 24 years after it's ITV run ended Spitting Image is returning. Between 1984-96 the show skewered the powerful and the famous of the day including Margaret Thachter and Ronald Regan. Such was show's impact the band Genesis used puppets in their Land of Confusion video. Given that today we have such figure as Donald Trump and Boris Johnson in powerful roles this new version of Spitting Image will not lack for material.
