Co-creator Roger Law says the new incarnation of the puppet comedy show will be “public service satire”, taking on Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kanye West, Mark Zuckerberg and Prince Harry and Meghan.

Famous for lampooning political and cultural figures, the original show parodied famous names including Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Paul Gascoigne and the Queen.

A pilot for the new series has already been filmed.

Speaking to the Guardian, Law said: “It’s pretty chaotic out there. As far as I’m concerned, it’s better than shouting at the television set, isn’t it? So I thought, let’s give it a go.”
