Yes - the "President's brain is missing" sketches were hilarious !

Yes Spitting Image had a truly ruinous effect (I've never since been able to take David Steel seriously) so I used to call the producer (John Lloyd who I knew - he dated my junior researcher on Ent USA Helen Fielding who went on to write Brigid Jones Diary) and ask him to include me.
He would answer "JK as long as you keep pestering me I'll never do a puppet of you".
It never dawned on him that was exactly what I wanted!
