About time.

Or rather, well overdue.

I don't know why it was cancelled in the first place.

*Cancelled, stopped, ended, whatever it was.

Sadly it won't be available to the majority of licence-fee-payers, despite being produced by BBC and ITV.

It's going to be locked away on the BritBox service, for those who want to pay an extra monthly fee for the content that their licence-fee and ITV's advertising has already paid for.

My favourite part of that is the caption: 'PM's Spitting Image puppet'

Just in case people thought it was actually him.

Wrong age group.

I was looking forward to the programme immensely and am peeved to learn via uefa's post it's going to be shown on Brit TV. What kind of nonsense is that?

I hadn't read the article properly initially because of the excitement and now I'm rather deflated.

People will be looking to stream the thing elsewhere if possible.

Hmmm, I'm sceptical. It was a programme of its time, shattering convention - the tabloid outrage about the puppet of the Queen Mother is incredibly quaint 35 years on - and it worked because of the brilliance of many of the writers rather than the puppets.

Thatcher resigning possibly caused it to lose momentum but by the end it was just doing tedious celebrity b.ollocks and the humour was more obvious and less amusing. It was always a little hit and miss in the early days but the political sketches stand up far better than the cultural ones and there was so much per episode.

I re-watched the first seven series a few years back, was impressed by how much I remembered as a child and also got far more of it as an adult. It was great I'm not convinced resurrecting it will be.

I recall seeing the first episode - think it was at 10pm on a Sunday night. I’d just driven back to my University house after a weekend at home. Sat down in front of the TV with a house mate not knowing it was coming on and being absolutely staggered at what I was seeing! It was just so different and so funny.
