Tebbit. Making a respectable tory a bovver-boy in a leather jacket who hits other tories, lefties or news correspondants is just class.

Got to agree with you about Tebbit classic character!! "Yes Leader!" then shoves Sir Robin Days fingers in a food blender!!! "You wouldn't hit a man with glasses" a grey John Major then receives a headbutt off of Tebbit!!

The Hattersley puppet constantly spitting(was Gilbert the Alien from Get Fresh based on him as well?) is quite good.

I also like the David Owen puppet with tiny little David Steele in his pocket!!! "Oh David why are SDP leaders such good lovers?" "Because we are good coming second!!"

Did anyone else think that the Michael Heseltine puppet looked like Zelda from Terrahawks??? It was quite a scary puppet!!

It's a tough one cos I loved the show and all the characters. I'd have to say PC.Dimbelby is top of my list. The Royal family always made me laugh. Reagan cracked me up and the Pope tickled me as well. My fave sketch of all time is easier. It's the Royals getting evicted for non payment of poll tax. I brought the box set and series 8 and the sketch I want is in a later series which haven't been released on DVD yet. I was so in touch of what was going on with this show. I could name all of the mps in the cabinet, shadow cabinet and the S.D.P/Liberal party. Now all I can tell you is the two PMs Clegg/Cameroon and the mayor Boris Johnson. Haven't got a clue on any one else in power.
