Idiots Assemble: Spitting Image Saves the World, a new stage adaption of the original ITV1 series, has just finished a successful run at The Birmingham Rep and hoping to transfer to the West End. But he has said a lot about the failures of governance recently - through his Spitting Image puppets. Al says he feels “like most people that nurses striking is a last resort.”Īl says he won't say any more about politics. In Britain, our greatest WWII legacy reaches its 75th anniversary this July, and for the first time in its history, its workers are striking. in the 70s, the Soviet government pivoted historiographically to the Great Patriotic War as the justification of the Soviet State because they knew they couldn’t deliver the communist paradise on earth but what they had done is defeated Nazism. “If you’re Russian, you’ve been brought up on the siege of Leningrad. So modern events happening right now are a direct product of WWII.”Īround seven million Ukrainians and 14 million Russians perished during the Second World War, which in Russia is still remembered as the ‘Great Patriotic War’. “And Russia’s attitudes to the rest of the world and perhaps to Ukraine are very much founded in their view of the Second World War. So the world we’re living - the NHS service that we went out two years ago and clapped on our doorsteps is a direct, direct, unequivocal product of the Second World War. This leads to the foundation of the National Health Service and the Welfare State. “The NHS is a direct result of what happened in the Second World War,” He explains: “During the war, the government needed to figure out what we were fighting for -so they commissioned the Beveridge report. “And it’s one - where the consequences of which - more so than many other historic events - we’re living with still today.”Īl cites two examples. He adds: “To me, the Second World War is the most amazing historical event and subject you could ever study,” says Al. "So the idea of taking Calabria and fighting your way up to Cassino and Foggio is something I've been talking about for the last six months. "I've just written about the campaigns in North Africa, and Jim, my podcasting partner, is just in the middle of writing about Italy, " he says.
