Last night in the Green Room at ADC Theatre before the recording of BBC Radio 4's 'The Reunion: Spitting Image' .
The Reunion brought together cast, crew and creatives of the TV Series Spitting Image; writers Ian Hislop and Nick Newman, voice artists Steve Nallon, Jan Ravens and Chris Barrie, puppeteer Louise Gold, producers Jon Blair and John Lloyd, commissioning executive Charles Denton, and of course the joint creators of the programme, caricaturists and sculptors, Peter Fluck and Roger Law.
The presenter was Kirsty Wark, and surprise guest Edwina Currie, then Junior Minister for Health brought her own puppet from the series.
My thanks to David Prest of Whistledown Productions.

Nice Aussie comms. And irritating. @NickBryantNY
We'd like to thank Jonny Bairstow for reminding everyone about the dangers of stepping over the crease before you're given the green light.
Check out our road safety tips ➡ police.vic.gov.au/road-safet… then tag a grumpy Englishman (we'll go first @metpoliceuk)

Congratulations Joe Helm! A very proud and happy moment @Cambridge_Uni @NickBryantNY
Forgive the proud godfather post, but a lovely moment to see your godson graduate from your old college. This group of graduates were maximally affected by Covid - A levels disrupted, first year decimated. Congrats Joe Helm and friends. Can’t wait to see how you shape the world.
