    It was topical because they had the puppets and all they needed was someone to write the sketches...

    With headcases a lot of animation work is necessary.......

    It was embarrassingly awful drivel.

    Even Spitting Image was strikingly unfunny at times, especially in later years, but this was just dire!

    Also, SI had the charm of the actual puppets and puppetry which was very clever (Messrs. Fluck & Law?).

    Who could forget wee David Steel peeping out of David Owen's pocket, or Ken Baker as a giant slug?

    This computer-generated crud was unwatchable and unfunny. After all the hype too.

    Shan't be tuning in again.

    One of the problems with this is that apart from one or two times it just wasn't topical enough.
    Not that you can be topical considering the lead time necessary to do this kind of animation.
