Commendation:
An archival case study of Spitting Image that places the programme into a global context to consider the rapid transformations of television industries around the world between the 1980s and 1990s. This excellent article is underpinned by extensive research using a range of archival sources to reconstruct how Spitting Image transcended national boundaries despite the British specificity of its content and satirical attacks.
