Classic satirical puppet show, first broadcast on ITV in the 1980s. Kinnock goes missing in a bid to win over the voters, the Queen goes 'street' and Bros wonder why they're not famous anymore.
The award-winning, critically acclaimed, 1980s satire took no prisoners, cruelly lampooning politicians of all parties but reserving special venom for Thatcher and her ministers, notably a bovver-boy Norman Tebbit, a bumbling Geoffrey Howe and a wild, gung-ho Michael Heseltine! The show also targeted the royal family – Charles was shown as a blundering crackpot, Diana a vain airhead and the Queen Mother a horseracing-obsessed alcoholic.
