Spitting Image, the iconic puppet comedy, is making a comeback with a new YouTube series titled 'Spitting Image: The Rest Is Bulls*!t'. The teaser episode has already dropped, with the full series set to launch in the autumn.
The show will feature puppets of Prince Harry, Paddington Bear, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Vladimir Putin, Elon Musk and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The teaser shows Prince Harry trying to 'make a sh*t ton of money out of podcasting', among other comedic scenarios.
The new series is led creatively by Al Murray and Matt Forde, two of the writers behind the stage show 'Idiots Assemble: Spitting Image The Musical'. It is produced by Avalon, with Matt Stronge as producer and director, and executive produced by Richard Allen-Turner, Jon Thoday and Roger Law.
Spitting Image originally aired on UK television from 1984 to 1996, and returned briefly on BritBox in 2020. This new iteration embraces the vodcast format, bringing its satirical edge to a modern audience.
