One of Spitting Image's greatest impressions is making a return in a new stage play.
Steve Nallon's portrayal of Margaret Thatcher will be the centrepiece of new London show Dead Sheep - minus the rubbery puppet.
Spitting Image is 30: Looking back at the satirical puppet classic
Dead Sheep is written by ITV journalist Jonathan Maitland, and follows the infamous speech by Geoffrey Howe which led to the end of Thatcher's reign as prime minister.
Maitland was in consultation with Howe and his wife Elspeth while writing the project, and it will be released in time for the 25th anniversary of the speech.
The play will open at London's Park Theatre on April 1.
