Everyone’s favourite satirical puppet show Spitting Image is finally back after a 24-year hiatus.

It is an iconic show from the 1980s, created by Peter Fluck, Roger Law and Martin Lambie-Nairn.

The team have created more than 100 new puppets for the revival series –including a rather ghastly looking Piers Morgan puppet.

Here’s how you can watch it.

When is Spitting Image coming to BritBox?

The new series of Spitting Image is set to premiere exclusively on BritBox on Saturday, October 3.

The series will consist of ten episodes, released weekly.

BritBox have made this their first original commission and it’s already had the green light for a second series arriving in 2021.

Will Spitting Image be on Freeview TV?

Spitting Image will not be available to watch on regular Freeview TV.

The show is an original BritBox commission, like Netflix originals and Amazon originals.
