I made the decision to watch ITV Newzoids and quickly realised it was no ‘Spitting Image' a poor substitute for the 80s/90s classic.
I had one little chuckle during the whole 20 odd minutes of the show it was just not funny. Andy Murray sitting in bed on is wedding night; tennis racket in hand just didn’t cut it, boring. He needed a ‘sex coach’ in comes the mummy joke. Its prestigious predecessor also had a boring character, snooker great Steve Davis and he was really boring but funnier.
And stop already with the inane Clegg/Cameron housewife/underdog situation, it’s been done… and better by David Owen and David Steel in the for mentioned ‘Spitting Image’. I will probably watch it again it’s only the first in a six series run and the reaction on social media was ok. These days it is the quickest way to judge a programme via social media.
The puppets were ok but still second rate compared to ‘Spitting Image’ puppets technology can detract some times. If you take the film, Alien for instant the spaceship looked like a piece of junk compared to the prequel in Prometheus.
So what made me chuckle? The Barack Obama joke saying he holds the record as the only black man to run twice – without being shot by a US cop.
If Newzoids may have left me a bit under impress but luckily, ‘The Delivery Man’ followed it an ITV comedy followed it I actually enjoyed.
