I got a free six month's Britbox subscription with EE. MrsIHN was particularly pleased as she loved Spitting Image BITD.

Watched the first one last night. It was, basically, crap.

Really disappointed, anyone else?

Satire requires a degree of exaggeration from real life.

Sadly, these days that's impossible

I've seen a few clips and it doesn't look anything to be honest. Disappointed.

I've been enjoying the clips I've seen on the YouTube channel but they're still hit n miss

Dominic Cummings and his relationship of command with Bojo is excellent

I like the trump clips. Matt fordes impression is good although his Bojo impressions seems a bit off, which is strange as usually his Boris mimicry is best in the business

The Matt Hancock puppet is a fail, the gove and Raab impressions are well off

I think the scripts are mostly excellent, but still a bit hit n miss like all sketch shows

Wow, that alone justifies my not subscribing to brit box.

I loved the original and remember them being pretty outrageous back in the day. But like PercyPanther says, its hard to be that outrageous these days given the current state of the protagonists and the more sensitive and more easily offended nature of people these days. For them to get properly outrageous they'd have to properly offend.
