Ah, I was using a Mac at the time so I think that was the problem. I'm downloading it now, thanks.

Interesting to read that at one point they approached Jim Henson about puppet-building. He may have turned it down, but quite a few of the TMS studio crew ended up working on the show (set designers, directors etc), and don't forget that Louise Gold was the show's original Leading Puppeteer.
There was a very interesting even at the NFT on London's South Bank just before Christmas, about the programme, involving a panel of four "movers and shakers behind the show", namely: producer John Lloyd, voice-artiste Steve Nallon, Co-creator/Puppet-builder Peter Fluck, and, puppeteer Louise Gold.
For a slightly fuller listing of puppeteers, voice-artistes, and, writers involved with the show, you might find the following fan page of some use: http://www.qsulis.demon.co.uk/Website_Louise_Gold/Spitting_Image.htm

Nigel Plaskitt joined for the Second season, and he became Leading Puppeteer from then on (right up until the show ended).

I have a puppet documentary where the creator of Spitting Image Roger Law said he went to a puppetry lecture that Jim gave. Jim says never make puppets look like humans because you never get them right and Roger says in this interview "He was absolutely right!"
