ITV .. Ha! First time I've watched it, brilliant!

So lifelike!

I thought Newzoids was good, too, but couldn't help comparing it with Spitting Image, which I thought was definitely better.

Hi Elina,yes a bit of light relief :)

[ummmm]

I'm the same as Chanel. I was comparing it to Spitting Image and thought it was rubbish in comparison so turned over.

Watched about 3 minutes and switched off.

I agree although it took me a while to realise who was who in the beginning.

I forgot it was on. I enjoyed the last series.

People who remember Spitting Image will obviously make comparisons, but there is a large potential audience out there who don't remember it because they are not old enough, so this is their first exposure to satirical TV - I think it's great.

^ or those like me that had to go to bed early on a Sunday evening cos of skool :(

[ladybirder]

I enjoyed it. Not as good as SI but good nevertheless.

[agchristie]

Just checked,the last Spitting Image was broadcast in Feb '96.

I remember John Major dining looking very gray: 'Norma,there's a pea under the table'

[ladybirder]

The Majors and the peas is what I remember best. Oh and this ...

I used to watch Spitting Image, I think both are as good as each other. Needless is fresh & current, as Andy said, a new audience to tap in to. Clever witty scripts & the puppets likeness to the celeb is fantastic!
