For the 200th edition of The Reunion, Kirsty Wark brings together the original team behind the satirical TV hit of the 1980s, Spitting Image.
Recorded in front of an audience in Cambridge, where the Spitting Image archives are now held by Cambridge University Library, we relive the stories of a show which very nearly didn't happen.
Only when Central Television in Birmingham decided to take a risk with a puppet show for adults did Spitting Image hit the screens. The rest is history.
With co-creators Peter Fluck and Roger Law, producers Jon Blair and John Lloyd, writers Ian Hislop and Nick Newman, puppeteer Louise Gold, voice artists Chris Barrie and Steve Nallon, and the man who made it all possible, Central Television commissioner Charles Denton.
