Synopsis

The satirical puppetry of SPITTING IMAGE gets a 21st century Pixar-style makeover in the hit ITV series HEADCASES. Using cutting edge 3D animation, the show takes a sardonic swipe at the topical issues, celebrities and politicians of the day. With a mixed bag of targets ranging from Gordon Brown, David Cameron, George Bush, the Queen, Princes William and Harry, Robert Mugabe, Nicolas Sarkozy and Vladimir Putin, to the Beckhams, Madonna, Brangelina, Amy Winehouse, Mohamed Al-Fayed, Russell Brand, Piers Morgan and many many more... including the Dames, Judi Dench and Helen Mirren as you've never seen them before!

2.0 out of 5 stars Occasionally inspiring, mostly just dull., 18 May 2009
For years now I've been waiting for a new satire show to rival the much-missed Spitting Image which, in its day, made mincemeat of the political and media world. Whilst Headcases is worth seeing if you're a satire fan, I can't say it's what I've been waiting for.

This show certainly looks good, with well-detailed backgrounds and CGI comic versions of varied MPs, film stars and other public figures. Though there's certainly inspiration and moments of genuine humour, this show has real problems. It's painfully obvious there aren't that many CGI characters. This shouldn't be that much of an obstacle, but it isn't long before you realise this is just catchphrase comedy with famous people. Soon you're irritated by characters appearing in the same old sketches telling the same old jokes, and some of them are just so repugnant it's impossible to feel amused. The smug, self-satisfied tone of the show is also irritating.

Maybe this show will improve on its second series (if it gets one), but this is more than anything else a curio for fans of satire and a waste of some talented vocalists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent topical show!, 14 Jul 2008
By I. Robinson (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's worth it for Madonna's questionable crotch alone, but this series was truly the hero of mainstream comedy this year. Faves included President Armadinijad (Don't be racist... give us nuclear) Jeremy Clarkson and poor old Gordon Brown. Brilliant!

1.0 out of 5 stars Quite literally the least funny thing ever created., 25 Jul 2008
By G. Smith (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Truly awful. The impersonations are shocking and some of them could not sound less like the person intended if they tried. Even ignoring this, 90% of the sketches are not remotely funny, and a fair few are actually hugely irritating in their attempts to be funny. The only good point is that SOME of the animation is quite nice, but not much, and there will inevitably be the odd brief, quiet chuckle. Few and far between though. Headcases is an approprite title, because that is what you would need to be one of to pay money for this.

Brilliant. Headcases has filled a gap left by the demise of Spitting Image and made an excellent job of it. The satire is spot on and the cariacatures hilarious. Read more
