Isn't it just old compilation of clips branded as 'new' though? Ok, I know, there's a new Ant and Dec skit but isn't that it?

Judging from the promo they will have people talking about it as well...

Both the first and last episodes will also be repeated on ITV4 later that night, too.

John Lloyd tried to last year, but the plan fell through. I think it was down to the cost, or the fact that one of the creators (Fluck or Law, not sure which one) was unavailable or something.

Still, I like 2DTV, which is pretty much an animated Spitting Image. If they got all the impersonators from Spitting Image for 2DTV, I think it would be even better.

The idea was mooted about a bit, but they would have had to find an Independent Production company too, another problem is cost, considering the fact that most of the show's original puppets were sold off after the show's demise in 1996, plus new ones would obviously have to be created.

If the 'Comedy Connections' about Spitting Image is shown again then it's worth a watch, as they had massive difficulty in getting the first series on air, they took it to almost every ITV station, and Central were the only ones to back them on the project.

Leave it as it is IMO, it was a good programme at the time, and thats how most fondly remember the programme. Though it should be repeated more, Granada Plus did it a few years ago, but it slipped away quickly.

Is this a one - off show?

Good show actually. Some great highlights.

They've just replayed the first edition on ITV4 complete with end Central Productions endboard from 1984. The second one coming up is the last episode from 1996.

Strange thing is, that very first episode had a canned laughter track on it. I never knew Spitting Image to have that.

Speaking of 2DTV.. A hell of a lot of clips from 2DTV on YouTube, and full episodes from the days it was a 10 min pilot. Very Happy
