Quote:
Quote from The Sun: Spitting Image co-creator Roger Law defended his puppets against accusations of racism.
The caricaturist, 79, created the satirical puppet show which first aired in 1984.
It has gone on to win numerous awards by creating caricatures of celebrities and political figures by way of exaggerated puppets in their likeness.
ITV bosses recently had a "curious meeting" with the shows creators to discuss how best to represent black characters, in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement.
But Roger is not having any of the criticism that its past portrayals of figures such as Kanye West or Beyoncé were offensive.
Instead he accused his critics of contriving controversy.
“People sit around looking for things to complain about, and I do big noses and big ears. It’s personal – it’s not a racist thing," he told Radio Times in this week's magazine.
The whole objective of a caricature is the emphasis of certain physical features including the ethnic ones.

I have watched the new version and the last episode of the old version in the last 24 hours. The old Spitting Image is funnier and more satirical and savage, by far.
Meanwhile I'm struggling with Britbox on my Android T9 TV box. No matter what I do I cannot get it to fit to screen. Therefore, I cannot access the play button. I would download Britbox to my smart TV except that it is an old Panasonic Viera plasma. The Viera Store doesn't feature the Britbox app for this TV.
