Back when I were a wee nipper, this was one of the most popular, satircal shows on a Sunday night (just after the news at 10.00pm).
However, it naturally ran it's course and went out with a whimper.
9 years of Neu Laborazi later, I can only think it is time to resurrect the old beast and continue with the mischief-making once again. I seriously think there is a political, satirical vacuum at the moment and this needs to be addressed with a topical weekly show like Spitting Image.
It's not like they don't have much material to work with is it ?
However, I did come across this snippet from the Wiki Entry
