A live version of Spitting Image could be on its way to the stage.

According to the Sunday Times, puppets and a script have been commissioned, with plans for a feasibility test planned for June.

The report says Roger Law, who co-created the original TV series in the 1980s, is overseeing production of new latex puppets for production company Avalon.

Sean Foley, who has worked on The Play What I Wrote and the West End version of Upstart Crow, is said to be in talks to direct.

Spitting Image returned last year to streaming service BritBox, featuring the voices of Debra Stephenson and Matt Forde.
