So true. With people like Johnson, Trump, and Rees-Mogg around - the show won't likely need as many sketch writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 'Steve "Interesting" Davis's image was probably harmed too. Year later we've found out he's probably the only interesting snooker player of that era.' The only one who thought Steve 'interesting' was Barry Hearn. The two of them cleaned up and ruined the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Steve Davis has a very interesting taste in music. He does Dj sets with Kavis Torabi. Check some out, its mental. And very very fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeRaccoonsInATrenchCoat Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 I do think Spitting Image was hilarious. The scene about the vegetables still cracks me up. But we should always remember there is a bias going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to its return. Do you think the creators will be too far up their own backsides to be funny and relevant in 2020? That's my prediction but I will be happy to be proven wrong. When and on what chanel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 For those of you without britbox, whatever that is, the first episode is available on a well known torrent site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These establishment champagne socialists all live in a bubble of their own CO2 output, with low intelligence sycophants from the general public praising them, making them believe they're comedic geniuses. You can see it happen on Twitter with has-been celebrities and actors. It's sad to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 You can watch the first 3 episodes on Youtube now. I've thought they've been pretty good so far. A few jokes fall flat, but mostly funny. No one, apart from Trump has really been savaged in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatdamaged Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The Trump sketches have been outstanding imo (Mike Pence explaining the middle east conflict.). Jared Kushner (head falling off) makes me laugh out loud each time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
