ITV has announced that a documentary celebrating the legendary puppet show Spitting Image will be shown later this year.

Best Ever Spitting Image will look back at the show's most memorable moments, featuring the best known puppets and sketches. We can confidently predict the Royal Family will feature heavily, along with Baroness Thatcher.

The programme will also feature interviews from some of those on the receiving end of the shows humour down the years, including Paul Daniels, Steve "Interesting" Davis and Lord Heseltine, who has claimed that "In a sense Spitting Image made me."

Spitting Image ran for twelve years, attracting audiences of up to fifteen million at it's peak. In today's political climate, it could be said that the time is right for a return of the show.

Writers and performers that have gone on to other things after the show finished include Ian Hislop, Steve Coogan, Harry Enfield, Chris Barrie and Alistair McGowan.
