It brought satire to a generation by sending up Margaret Thatcher, John Major and the Royal Family - now Spitting Image is to turn its guns on a new batch of politicians and celebrities. The cast and crew of the show which drew huge audiences in the 1980s and 1990s are being reunited to lampoon figures including Russell Brand, Vladimir Putin and Boris Johnson. Promising a 'biting look at the world of politics and celebrity', ITV's six-part series, called Newzoids, will include impressions by Jon Culshaw, who worked on Spitting Image, as well as the voice of Debra Stephenson.
