Press
I fear satire is dead, and those fears seemed confirmed when the new series of this satirical show was dumped on Saturday night TV. You only need to glance at the listings for a Saturday night to see this is not where quality programmes are scheduled. This is the land of Strictly and The X Factor - so what is Newzoids doing here? It's a satirical show using puppets and animation and the last series was like a blander version of Spitting Image.
I'm hoping they've upped their game for the new one because we desperately need tough and iconoclastic satirical TV. New characters for this series include Donald Trump, Jeremy Corbyn, Adele and Theresa May. The Trump puppet's voice is scarily identical to the real thing - and a sports a toupee that is made of fluffy golden kittens.
