Spitting Image: A Non-Denominational Holiday Special

1987 · 25 min

A rapid-fire barrage of satirical sketches and musical parodies, gleefully skewering British politics and holiday cheer with anarchic puppetry.

Directed by
Peter Harris
Genres
Comedy
Overview
Christmas Special featuring a fancy dress party at Number Ten, another boring Perry Como Special, various spoofs of classic Christmas pop songs, as well as "The Snow Man in the Kalahari" and "Temporary Postman Pratt".
How it feels
Satirical, absurd, cynical and campy. Brisk and needs your attention.
About
Politics, media, celebrity, class
Content
Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
