Created by British caricaturists Peter Fluck and Roger Law, Spitting Image was merciless in its depiction of the leading public figures of the day.

Producer John Lloyd said he had been determined to work on the show as soon as he heard about it and immediately got in contact.

‘They said, ‘we already have two producers we don’t need you, thank you very much’, so I said, ‘I’ll work for nothing’,’ he told AFP.
