NBC did not give this high priority. During the late summer, when viewership was traditionally low and the networks aired reruns of the previous season, NBC broke the special into two half-hour episodes and slotted them into its schedule on 30 August and 6 September of that year, following reruns of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Golden_Girls" title="The Golden Girls">The Golden Girls</a></i>. </p><p>Introduced by <a href="/wiki/David_Frost" title="David Frost">David Frost</a>, it departed from the sketch-based format in favour of an overall storyline involving the upcoming (at that time) Presidential election. The plot involved a conspiracy to replace Ronald Reagan with a double (actually actor <a href="/wiki/Dustin_Hoffman" title="Dustin Hoffman">Dustin Hoffman</a> in disguise). This plan was hatched by the Famous Corporation, a cabal of the ultra-rich headed by <a href="/wiki/Johnny_Carson" title="Johnny Carson">Johnny Carson</a>'s foil <a href="/wiki/Ed_McMahon" title="Ed McMahon">Ed McMahon</a> (in the show, Carson was his ineffectual left-hand man) who met in a secret cavern hollowed out behind the façade of Mount Rushmore. Eventually, their plot foiled, the famous corporation activated their escape pod – Abraham Lincoln's nose – and left Earth for another planet, but (in a homage to the beginning of the <i><a href="/wiki/Star_Wars" title="Star Wars">Star Wars</a></i> movies) were destroyed during a collision with 'a nonsensical prologue in gigantic lettering'. </p><p>The show did not achieve high ratings. It did, however, receive great praise from critics and it was followed by several more television specials: <i>The Ronnie & Nancy Show</i> (also satirising the Reagans), <i>The 1987 Movie Awards</i> (sending up the <a href="/wiki/Academy_Awards" title="Academy Awards">Academy Awards</a>), <i>Bumbledown: The Life and Times of Ronald Reagan</i> (a quasi-documentary about the President), and <i>The Sound of Maggie</i> (satirising Thatcher and parodying several musicals such as <i><a href="/wiki/Oliver!" title="Oliver!">Oliver!</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/West_Side_Story" title="West Side Story">West Side Story</a></i> and many others). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Revival">Revival</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Spitting_Image&action=edit&section=28" title="Edit section: Revival"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Spitting_Image_(2020_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Spitting Image (2020 series)">Spitting Image (2020 series)</a></div> <p>In September 2019, the show was confirmed to be returning 23 years after it originally ended, with the unveiling of the puppets of <a href="/wiki/Greta_Thunberg" title="Greta Thunberg">Greta Thunberg</a>, <a href="/wiki/Donald_Trump" title="Donald Trump">Donald Trump</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vladimir_Putin" title="Vladimir Putin">Vladimir Putin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg" title="Mark Zuckerberg">Mark Zuckerberg</a>, <a href="/wiki/Prince_Harry" class="mw-redirect" title="Prince Harry">Prince Harry</a> and <a href="/wiki/Meghan_Markle" class="mw-redirect" title="Meghan Markle">Meghan Markle</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-48" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-48"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Roger Law stated that the pilot for the new series had been filmed and that talks were in progress with US networks to take the show to a larger, global audience,<sup id="cite_ref-plots_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-plots-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and that the revival is set to have a global appeal through a "uniquely British eye".<sup id="cite_ref-twentyfour_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-twentyfour-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Among the writers for the revival will be <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Westbrook" title="Jeff Westbrook">Jeff Westbrook</a> of <i><a href="/wiki/Futurama" title="Futurama">Futurama</a></i> (who also serves as executive producer), <a href="/wiki/Al_Murray" title="Al Murray">Al Murray</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Windsors" title="The Windsors">The Windsors</a></i> creators <a href="/wiki/Bert_Tyler-Moore" title="Bert Tyler-Moore">Bert Tyler-Moore</a> and George Jeffrie, <a href="/wiki/Bill_Odenkirk" title="Bill Odenkirk">Bill Odenkirk</a>, <a href="/wiki/David_X._Cohen" title="David X.
