I have a television but I don't have a licence.. Or a BBC

Edit: Who's bought it, then?

I can't believe this new series will be as popular as the original.
Westminster has become so full of real bumbling clowns that a series which features bumbling clowns in Westminster is unlikely to appeal to a massive audience.
I own four wireless sets only one has valves.

Er you do know that ITV showed the original Spitting Image ?

I don't know anyone who watches Brit Box so I expect this will vanish without much impact at all.

Spitting Image was a very expensive show to make. The BBC had no competition from the subscription channels in the eighties and could more or less dictate what they paid for programs.

Not any more.

Couldn't afford it - apparently the Gary Lineker puppet costs £1.4m an episode
