Never seen it, but looks like the usual Spitting Image material. On the BBC every week in the 80s and 90s.

Correction: ITV not BBC, could have sworn I watched it on Belgian cable in the 90s, which only had BBC1/2. Going senile.

Now I know something to avoid searching. I love functional miniature items. I just hate overly detailed moving dolls.

6/6: And the severed heads in a swamp both refer to "Drain the Swamp" (yep, that slogan is OLD), and the horror film "Motel Hell".
