The popular television show, Spitting Image, has featured a variety of well-known personalities such as Tyson Fury, RuPaul, Vladimir Putin, Elon Musk, and Ian McKellen. During its prime in the 1980s and 1990s, the show garnered 10 Bafta awards and two Emmys. The portrayal of John Major as a completely grey figure who dined on a plate of peas for dinner, and Edwina Currie as a vampire were some of the show’s notable characters.
A particularly memorable sketch depicted Margaret Thatcher taking her Cabinet out for a meal and responding when asked about the “vegetables” by saying, “Oh, they’ll have the same as me.”
Spitting Image made a comeback in 2020 under the guidance of Mr. Forde, with Boris Johnson and Donald Trump being among its main targets for satirical portrayal.
The shadow domestic violence minister, Jess Phillips, praised the play during a performance in Birmingham in March, describing it as “totally irreverent, offensive, and brilliant.” She jokingly suggested that the puppets should take over the Cabinet and expressed her admiration for having her own puppet, despite its unflattering portrayal as an “annoying, outspoken” superhero caricature on the show.
