A milestone in television comedy, Spitting Image lifted satire to a new level for over a decade through the 1980s and 90s.
No target was safe from the series’ gunsights: politicians of all persuasions, Ronald Reagan, the Pope and even the Royal Family could find themselves up for a ribbing on any given programme. This complete third series shows Reagan employing the Four Larrys of the Apocalypse, Chernobyl absolutely not exploding and the debut of a certain song that advocates holding a chicken in the air! Exceptionally topical, this set features, amongst others, the talents of Chris Barrie, Phil Cornwell, Harry Enfield, Jon Glover, Jessica Martin, Steve Nallon, Kate Robbins and John Sessions.
BAFTA-nominated many times, Spitting Image won a Bronze medal at theMontreux TV festival in 1984, establishing its success and ultimatelyrunning for eighteen series in total.
