Newzoids, Anyone?

[K12beano]

Christ!

What a waste of talent

Not satirical

Not good puppets (not a patch on Spitting Image)

Not funny





Or am I just not getting something?

[Matt_N]

The advert was enough to tell me it would be pants.

[Jasandjules]

It will do.

[Hub]

Poor.

The impressions arent even that good in most cases.

[kev b]

Very lacklustre, though the Farage puppet and sketch was pretty good.

Clarkson however! could they really not find anyone to do his voice properly?

A missed chance, what a shame, the Royals were crass and embarassing, the rest just not funny.

[whoami]

Complete garbage.

Spitting Image it is not.

[K12beano]

I tried to give it a chance; agree that Farage moment was just about the high point....

Except that just seeing the real Farage makes me crack up. They didn't even do him in the Arthur Daley coat, did they?

Oh - I forgotten it already.......

[matchmaker]

Going against the flow here - quite a few LOL moments with us...

Dear K,

2nd half better than the 1st.
The Muslim "Don't tell the parents on holiday Syria edition" sort of thing tickled my funny buds - "thank goodness it wasn't Magaluf".

Will I watch it again? Probably,

regards,
Jet

I laughed a lot, thought it was very good. Best comedy I've seen on telly for a long while.

[Shaw Tarse]

Watched on catchup
Disappointed

[MrHorsepower]

It was a complete load of crap, really. I laughed a bit at Miliband, but everything else was

[ch108]

Watched about 10 minutes and gave up. Just didn't find it funny. Also do all Jon Culshaws impersonations just sound like Jon Culshaw?

After 500 years of hearing his impressions, you tend to get used to the way he sounds ....

It was vaguely entertaining, I'll keep watching in the hope that they can get some of the old spitting image magic back.

I saw the reviews and thought "This will be a pile of st."

This thread isn't convincing me to invest five minutes of my life on finding out...

[K12beano]

Trust me - there's no investment involved....

I thought it was ok. Worth sticking with for another week or two. I thought the puppets were ok too, but maybe I'm easily pleased.

You must remember that Spitting Image used to miss the mark on many occasions (as per Python etc.).

Overall I thought it was worth a watch too, not all of it was great but I think there is enough to stick with it.

Oddly I thought the other way round. Started off strong and fizzled out. Will try it again next week.

[budfox]

Watched five minutes. Utterly abysmal.
