The news that Spitting Image is to return is of
course excellent for those of us who enjoyed (and on
one occasion wrote for) the original. But I do detect
a certain trend going on here, and one day there's
going to be one too many. Think about it: Parkinson
cancelled in the eighties, then comes back 16 years
or so later. The Two Ronnies, back for a new series
in January. Doctor Who, Captain Scarlet, all dusting
themselves off and ready for a return.
I love all these things and I hope they come out well. But do we really want this decade remembered as the time of the revamps in which original programming died the death completely?
Am offline for a week after this - enjoy the break, people, I'll be redecorating and someone else will be standing in on this page.
