I thought it was pretty good - especially the Princes trying to be 'bloody normal blokes'.

Here is some of it:

I thought it was terrible. The most obvious, shite, uninspired humour, appealing the the lowest common denominator.

To be honest, Grim...'s quite high common denominator. I didn't like it either, though.

Avoided it like the plague after seeing the adverts for it.

It seems ITV keep trying to chase the "new Spitting Image" thing every few years.

Yeah, the adverts didn't fill me with any kind of desire to watch it at all.

I liked the bit about the media industry being doomed, but that was about it. Oh I want a crisp tree and a chocolate tree, but not salt and vineger.

There was talk of a Spitting Image comeback a few years ago, but ITV put paid to it by making Ant and Dec puppets for a clip show, without the permission of Spitting Image, which annoyed Roger Law.

Spitting Image (or a show like it) would be good if they were more "broadsheet" (political, like Spitting Image in its prime) and less "tabloid" (celeb-obsessed like 2DTV, Headcases etc)

I also dislike salt and vinegar crisps.

That show could probably be quite good. It's a shame it isn't.

Was reading something, somewhere that the problem with trying to recreate Spitting Image is that the characters like Thatcher just aren't around any more. Basically they are left with the blandest of the bland.
