Puppets of US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Boris Johnson take on a lead role in the new series of Spitting Image, which will air exclusively on the ITV/BBC led streaming service BritBox in the Autumn.

The controversial trailer has sparked mixed reactions, some calling it 'grotesque' and 'explicit'.

A caricature of Greta Thunberg provoked some backlash, with critics calling it cruel to target a teenager, although the Swedish activist liked her own 'Spitting Image' on Twitter.
