Anyone here watch that humourously un-PC show of political satire (where they don masks of the politicians and act out the voices) besides me? Perhaps you guys are too liberal for TV ONE.

I'm sure there will be a post-election special this week or the next.

It's great yeah. My favourite line is Don Brash's wife - "Don lost his election last night"

have you guys ever seen the british (channel 4 I think) show called Spitting Image? I think that is what the Facelift guys are trying to copy. I think its actually a bit funnier, but you have to be familiar with Thatcher-era politics. And the show was designed by a dude named Peter Fluck. How awesome is that?

<aye>Facelift</aye> is modelled after <aye>Spitting Image</aye> and their tribute are the Tony Blair and Bush heads being hand puppets. aye don't think aye was around when Thatcher was in power and aye'm not a fan of UK politics.

aye wonder how will future generations of NZers look back on Facelift. aye hope they release the classic episodes on DVD.
