Spitting Image: how they've ruined a classic TV satire
It's pitifully obvious this version is British humour meant for a U.S. audience, which just doesn't work. Some of the puppets need captions - did you spot Nancy Pelosi? Would you really know who she was, even if she had a name badge?

Spitting Image review
The puppets shine, shame about the script.
