I have no idea how the writers and producers of Spitting Image thought they might bring down Margaret Thatcher as that depict her as being so fearsome, she probably enjoyed it. After all, she relished being dubbed the Iron Lady. She is the centre of the programme; nothing else works as well as when her terrifying figure appears.
Now, I know these are all on YouTube but I couldn't resist to pull these together.
First Thatcher sings My Way:
Here Thatcher hosts a cabinet meeting (poor Geoffrey Howe lost his homework on the bus):
Ignoring Nick Clegg - an easy thing to do - we still appear to have the 'two-idiot party system':
Comic Strip once depicted Thatcher as a dragon - and here's a scientist in Spitting Image discovering she's really an alien:
A forensic Thatcher dissects a Nigel Lawson budget:
One clip I remember but haven't found is of Margaret Thatcher kneeling down to pray and begging for all the little children across the world to be helped. At which point God blows her head off with a lightning bolt. Can't find it anywhere.
Ho hum!
