So what does everyone think of it?

Its not bad, it has some cruel bits and some funny bits. That bit with tim was just strange.

Looks like it wants to be Dead Ringers meets Spitting Image...

All the stuff that wasn't good enough for a live action programme with puppets added. The topical stuff wasn't exactly inspired, and not always that topical.

If it makes it past this run I'll be very surprised.

Good point, thankful it has a good a bit of politics in it and cover the main parties. At first glance it seems to be better than Headcases.

Somewhat silly time to launch, in the middle of an election campaign, with the inevitable restrictions that adds to the production agenda and script.

Or the perfect time when (you would think) political awareness is at it's highest

Incidentally Dead Ringers is back in its original Radio 4 guise at the moment, with largely election based stuff.

Can't be many shows that have transitioned to TV and gone back to radio.

Watching currently on +1. Reminiscent of Spitting Image meets 2DTV.

Hit and miss but these shows always are. Easily the best thing on ITV during the week at the moment and something I hope does well because it's been too long since we've had a show of this kind on TV.

Well HIGNFY is on at the moment as well.

In theory it's the best time for both shows as the main party leaders are making notable appearances on the news with lots of possibility for bits to joke about every day.

It was more satirical than I expected. It could have just been Joey Essex and Katie Price style celebs.

I'll stick with it but found the oppener mediocre. It's kinda depressing America has John Oliver while this and dreary old Have I Got news For You are the the best we can do.

Worth noting there were some digs at ITV too in some of the sketches. It's not as fluffy as 2DTV.
