Line 1:

'''''2DTV''''' was a British animated satire series that ran from 2001 to 2004. Often considered the [[Spiritual Successor]] of ''[[Spitting Image]]'' and had many parallels with ''[[Dead Ringers (TV series)|Dead Ringers]]'' due to sharing many voice actors.
About 60% of the material was about celebrities while the rest was about politics, a notable shift away from the latter relative to ''Spitting Image'' which perhaps tells us something about how Britain has changed.
Line 21:
There were also a great number of one-off sketches. In the vein of ''[[Private Eye]]'' style humour, a lot of these involved crossing over two news stories or parodying a show ''by'' referencing current political issues. For example, there was a parody of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' called "The Johnsons" (about [[Boris Johnson]]'s family).

* [[Dead Baby Comedy]] and [[Crosses the Line Twice]] (it's a lot easier to get away with things when it's animation)
* [[Facial Profiling]] (Went rather far with it, using the old-fashioned bright yellow skin, buck teeth and slitty eyes for Chinese people, for instance)
Line 28:
* [[The Starscream]] (Brown to Blair and Prince Charles to the Queen)
* [[Too Dumb to Live]] (Bush, Posh and Becks)
