The entire first season of Spitting Image is finally available on DVD.
The unmistakably brilliant and highly entertaining send-up of British and international public figures created by Peter Fluck and Roger Law contains some of the show's most memorable characters in a veritable comedy feast where no one is safe from ridicule irrespective of political colours and neither social nor celebrity status.
All of the show's early star puppets are here. On the political front there is Margaret Thatcher as an autocratic he-she; there's US President with no brains Ronald Reagan; the lecherous serial cad Cecil Parkinson; senile lefty Michael Foot; the literally mouth-watering Roy Hattersley; Red Ken - newts and all; SS-like Norman Tebbit plus the memorable pairing of Liberal politicians David Owen with the bed-wetting David Steel in his pocket.
Running from 1984 to 1996, and broadcast on Sunday nights at 10pm, this first instalment of the award-winning ITV comedy is as topical as one would expect for a show based on the news stories of the day. Regularly attracting 15 million viewers at the peak of its popularity, the show benefits from the voices of Chris Barrie, Harry Enfield and John Sessions. It also features writing from some of the nation's leading comic talents including Richard Curtis, Ben Elton, Ian Hislop and Doug Naylor.
Subversive, caustic, witty and as pertinent today as it was when first broadcast 24 years ago, Spitting Image offers a never-bettered mix of excellent puppetry, realistic vocal impersonations and well-honed bitingly satirical scripts.
