"Oh defo! Looking forward to that, surprised it's taken so long!
Apparently it was too expensive for them to continue making the original series, but I loved it anyway   "
At it's peak the original series had 15million viewers per episode. But by it's end it had died on its arse and had a fraction of that number. The material got stale, the jokes awkward.
The only issue I can see is trying to parody Trump and Johnson when they are parodies in thier own right. |

Yeah I think it had ran it's course at the time, but it's the kind of satire that is badly needed just now.
The article doesn't say when it's starting does it? |

Will you watch it?  "
Absolutely NOT

I think at the time it was rather, for some, "alternative" but today is potentially a tonic for all.. |

"I'm not sure how puppets can parody Trump any more than he already parodies himself, but I'll certainly see what they try. "
Ha! He'll spontaneously combust. Fingers crossed... |

Finally! And it looks like it’s at an advanced stage and ready to go. I think there has been talk a couple of times over the years, but it never got anywhere because the puppets were so expensive to make. |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
The picture of the Putin puppet in bondage gear and the line about Trump's anus tweeting show us what they are planning.
It's being written in American and recorded here. I wonder if the American writers' room approach will make it more vicious or end up making it too tame?

I always thought it was a little hit or miss, but when it was good it was on the mark
If it has someone like Chris Morris or Armando Iannucci linked to it, I would seriously pay to watch it. But I fear it'll come back a lot tamer than the original, so no teeth. |

"I couldn’t stand it the first time around so i’ll give it a miss
You didn't like their caricature of Neil Kinnock then? 
I didn’t like their caricature of anyone to be honest. "
How about Michael Heseltine with a helicopter on his head after the Sikorsky debate? |

"Think it is going to be US based and focused which is a shame as there is so much UK stuff they could have a field day with at the moment."

The pilot has been done and it's being shopped around to find a network to get it greenlit. |
