A milestone in television comedy, Spitting Image lifted satire to a new level through the 1980s and '90s. No target was safe from its gunsights: politicians of all persuasions, even the Royal Family and the Pope could find themselves up for a ribbing on any given programme. BAFTA-nominated many times, Spitting Image won a Bronze medal at the Montreux TV festival in 1984, firmly establishing its success for over a decade. Packed with more wickedly witty sketches and spoof songs, this complete twelfth series employs the vocal talents of Rory Bremner, Steve Coogan, Jan Ravens, David Baddiel, Pamela Stephenson and Alistair McGowan among many others. In this series Maggie finally loses her sanity, Stephen Fry's house goes up in flames, Wogan has brain surgery, Hercule Poirot investigates a fight in a pub, and John Major gets home just in time to stop Norma reading his goodbye note...

Baddiel & Skinner Unplanned--Live from London's West End is a fairly straightforward stage recreation of the comedy duo's television format. Unscripted and unrehearsed, the show relies on the improvisational skills of the long-standing partnership, mainly responding to questions put to them from the audience. As might be supposed, the whole thing is a little hit or miss. Too often it descends into idle prattle between the two, much of it based in toilet or sexual humour--not for nothing was the legend "Ladies Beware" emblazoned across the front of the theatre, although the majority of the participating audience members on this video are female. There is much to laugh at though, particularly from Skinner, who proves that he really is one of the best at this sort of off-the-cuff comedy. This is an ideal purchase for fans of the television show and those not put off by the continued swearing and general rudeness, but really not as good as the fantastic Fantasy Football.--Phil Udell
