Spitting Image: A Non-Denominational Holiday Special

About This Movie

So, 'Spitting Image: A Non-Denominational Holiday Special' is one of those quirky time capsules from the late '80s. It’s got this offbeat charm with its mix of fancy dress parties and holiday spoofs that feel both familiar and absurd. The pacing is pretty erratic, bouncing from one sketch to another, but that’s part of its charm. There’s a certain irreverence in how it tackles classic Christmas songs, like a cheeky nod rather than a straight-up homage. The practical effects on the puppets are quite something, with a tangible feel that adds to the overall atmosphere. Performances? Well, they range from hilariously over-the-top to oddly understated, which keeps you on your toes. Definitely a peculiar little slice of holiday entertainment.

Features a fancy dress party at Number Ten.Includes spoofs of classic Christmas pop songs.Contains segments like 'The Snow Man in the Kalahari' and 'Temporary Postman Pratt'.
