While there weren't actors and actresses in the traditional sense, the show's puppeteers and voice actors were crucial to its success. However, the show's focus was on mimicking real-life individuals, not on fictional characters.
Here are some of the notable puppeteers and voice actors involved in the first season of "Spitting Image" in 1984:
* Puppeteers: Roger Law, Peter Fluck, Steve Nallon, and many others.
* Voice Actors: The show employed many voice actors, some of whom were also puppeteers, including:
* Steve Nallon (Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan)
* Peter Fluck (Prince Charles)
* Roger Law (various characters)
* Jane Curtin (various female characters)
* Harry Enfield (various characters)
It's worth noting that the show's humor relied heavily on imitating the voices and mannerisms of real-life figures, making the puppeteers and voice actors the true "stars" of the show.
