After seemingly forever in gestation, the new Spitting Image hits the screen on April 6th. Called Headcases, it uses CGI instead of the old puppets, and is being made by Henry Naylor. And Rory Bremner, but who cares about him.
Having seen a few preview clips, it looks bloody hilarious and deserves to get killer viewing figures.
The Vicky Beckham portrayal is so close to my imagination of the reality.
Tedious (and chauvinistic) as it is that Jacqui Smith’s cleavage gets more media coverage than consideration about how well she does her job, it is very funny that she’s portrayed in Headcases as having a massive bust that increases and decreases depending on the threat of terrorism.
David Cameron is an sneering Etonian toff. So pretty close to the truth. Henry said that he used my rantings about David Cameron to help shape the character. I have no doubt that this is complete rubbish and he said it to make me feel special. It worked.
