Lord Norman Tebbit talks about life as a latex puppet on Spitting Image as the show returns to our screens
The new series of Spitting Image made its return to the small screen at the weekend with a fresh set of politicians, royalty and celebrities to lampoon.
After an absence of 24 years, creator Roger Law, who lives in North Norfolk, is thrilled to have 100 new characters to have fun with.
Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and Lewis Hamilton were among those targeted in the first episode.
To come, we'll see Suffolk's Ed Sheeran portrayed as a turnip, and Essex MP and Home Secretary Priti Patel will be cast as a vampire!
Someone who knows all about life as a latex puppet on the show is Lord Norman Tebbit. He was cast back in the first series in the 1980s. He was depicted as a leather clad skin head who dished out tough love to members of Margaret Thatcher's cabinet who didn't tow the party line.
ITV News Anglia's Jonathan Wills spoke to him to find out more:
Lord Tebbit says he was actually quite fond of his puppet.
He was even interested in buying the puppet, but didn't quite get his hands on it.
When it comes to the current crop of politicians in Government, Lord Tebbit said the Prime Minister has a good deal of talent at his disposal.
Lord Tebbit has fond memories of the skits his puppet was involved in, including one with the French President at the time.
