I'll give it a go, but am convinced it won't be anywhere close to Spitting Imate (yes, I'm that old!). Hopefully I'll be wrong.....

It's ok, but not compulsive viewing either

JemimaPuddled · 15/04/2015 21:24

Nowhere near as good as spitting image. Ah well, hoped too high. What's with the puppet arms and computer generated mouths?

KnockMeDown · 15/04/2015 21:27

I think it's hilarious Grin

Am watching at ten on catch up - is it going to be worth it?

I thought it was quite good. Very topical and political. The piss take of Nigel Farage made me laugh!

TheFirstOfHerName · 15/04/2015 21:34

DS1 (15) loved it and found it hilarious. I chortled a couple of times.

Heleng1982 · 15/04/2015 21:49

me and dh loved it can't wait for next week's Smile

Idontseeanydragons · 15/04/2015 22:15

Watching it on catch up - this is pretty good so far! Not quite as bitey as Spitting Image was but I like.

satsumasunrise · 15/04/2015 23:16

I thought it was fab. Very much in the spirit of Spitting Image.

The voices were spot on.

Davros · 16/04/2015 08:48

DH refused to watch! I will go to catch up later today

Ok I liked it. Not the baby George stuff as didn't seem based on reality, loved the Queen and Camilla.

thought the Obama saying hes the only black person not shot by white cops was inexcusable. very offensive.

the Clarkson thing about beating people up, ditto.

And the son gone to Syria was shocking and not funny.

However, Peter capaldi-fab!

Andy Murray, ha ha ha ha!

note- my daughter dos a spot on impersonation of Clarksons voice, the impersonator sounded nothing like him.

bring back spitting image!

ImperialBlether · 16/04/2015 18:46

I thought it was really awful! I liked Spitting Image but found the voices last night were nothing like the people they were supposed to be imitating.

fussychica · 17/04/2015 09:51

Absolutely awful, didnt laugh once. Won't be tuning in again.

Clawdy · 17/04/2015 15:03

The puppets were very realistic on the whole - loved the weeping Olivia Colman! but don't think the script was strong enough.

KatoPotato · 17/04/2015 15:05

My Mum asked if we were going to be watching this, I'd never heard of it.

She said it's 'On ITV, John Culshaw doing the voices and Debra Stephenson.. and I seen a bit with Baby George being a Chav?'

I declined.

Fiderer · 29/04/2015 17:17

I've just seen and enjoyed the bits with Kay Burley and Katie Hopkins.

Though as usual KH will probably be encouraged by how "popular" she must be to be on it Hmm
