YMMV / Spitting Image S 2 E 10

• Hilarious in Hindsight: One sketch shows Michael Grade in a meeting with the head of the Department of Silly Ideas mentioning that one of their best silly ideas was scrapping Doctor Who, which they describe as the most "popular long-running series in the world." The show would go on to be revived in 2005 and become an even bigger cultural phenomenon.
  • Another silly idea Grade mentions is "starting a Soap Opera 25 years after everyone else." Presumably the prevailing mood at the time was that EastEnders wouldn't last.
