The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Man, I remember Spitting Image from when I was in Jr. High. I seem to recall they had a handful of TV specials and maybe a short-lived series? My friends and I thought it was great.

I really only know them from the music video they did for Genesis (or somebody like that) back in the 80's.

If you call 12 years a short-lived series ;)

I remember going to see an exhibition of the puppets at Covent Garden.

That I don't know about, as here in the states, I don't think it ran for more than a couple of years.


But that was a long time ago, I could be remembering it wrong.
