The satire show with latex puppets continues into the 1990s with these six episodes. As ever, the writing is good. Sketches include stop-motion animation, which range from a food-poisoned Magic Roundabout cast to a singing kidney dressed as Elvis. There's also an episodic mini-series called "A British Revolution", and songs include "Jail House Rock" in an overcrowded prison, and the football commentators' World Cup Cliche song. A must-buy for fans of this series.

As Ever the star of the show is Margaret Thatcher and in this series her time is finally up. The first song is a rendition of 'go now' by her Cabinet. But all throughout the show there is the feeling there is no way else to go with this character - which is kinda how it was in real life I suppose.
The show started to get better made at this point despite everyone saying when Thatcher left it got worse.
