I remember "Spitting Image" being on TV in Canada in the late 80s, but I didn't watch it so much because I often didn't get the jokes (probably because I didn't live in the UK). I liked "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole" better.

I think this song is funny, but I wouldn't want to hear it too often!

Uh....ok...... Sceptic

I do remember Spitting Image being on the air in the US for a bit. Or maybe I'm just thinking of the Genesis video for Land of Confusion... Confused

Ok, is it only me or did the US version sound vaguely familiar??

"The plot involved a conspiracy to replace Ronald Reagan with a double (actually actor Dustin Hoffman in disguise). This plan was hatched by the Famous Corporation, a cabal of the ultra-rich headed by Johnny Carson's foil Ed McMahon (in the show, Carson was his ineffectual left-hand man) .who met in a secret cavern hollowed out behind the facade of Mount Rushmore. Eventually, their plot foiled, the famous corporation activated their escape pod - Abraham Lincoln's nose - and left Earth for another planet, but (in a homage to the beginning of the Star Wars movies) were destroyed during a collision with 'a nonsensical prologue in gigantic lettering.'"
