Featured review
~Note this is only based on the best-of DVD~
I often put aside DVDs for later viewing, and I wasn't in any hurry to watch this particular one anyway - if anything, it was a pity-buying as it had been sitting at the start of the shelf of CeX's 50p section for a month by the time - and I've probably had it for two months since, but I finally got around to watching it. Now, I had mixed feelings going into this - I love Spitting Image with all my heart and while this was another of the very niche selection of satire sketch shows the designs and apparent crudeness really put me off. However, watching it, I can say these are remarkably good. Yes, the show is much cruder than Spitting Image ever was but the sheer absurdity of most of the satires made this feel welcome perfectly. Furthermore the voice talent, as is expected, is brilliant, and even the animation grows on you after a while. If you're more interested in just having a laugh at the 2000s celebrities than having jokes based on current affairs, then this is your show, but the more political-oriented viewers would much prefer Spitting Image.
8/10, highly entertaining.
