Spitting Image: The Series 9 Complete (DVD)

A milestone in television comedy, Spitting Image lifted satire to a new level for over a decade through the 1980s and '90s. No target was safe from the series' gunsights: politicians of all persuasions, Thatcher, Nelson Mandela and even the Royal Family could find themselves up for a ribbing on any given programme. In this complete ninth series Kinnock goes missing in a bid to win over the voters, Rod Stewart, Stephen Fry and Cliff Richard participate in Channel 4's latest offering, Sex Talk, the Queen goes 'street' and Bros wonder why they're not famous anymore. This set features the combined talents of Ian Hislop, Harry Enfield, Jan Ravens, David Baddiel, Steve Coogan, Pamela Stephenson, Rory Bremner, Alastair McGowan, Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt - amongst many others. BAFTA nominated many times, Spitting Image won a Bronze medal at the Montreux TV Festival in 1984, firmly establishing its success.
