1 Margaret Thatcher:
Her puppet looked manic, dressed like a man and referred to her Cabinet as "the vegetables".
2 Roy Hattersley: A torrent of water jetted from his puppet's mouth every time it spoke.
3 Ronald Reagan: The President's Brain Is Missing sketch portrayed him as a gibbering idiot.
4 The Queen Mother: Depicted slugging from a gin bottle while her daughter, The Queen, studied the horse-racing pages.
5 Paul Gascoigne: More water jets, this time from Gazza's eyes, following his real-life tears on the pitch at the 1990 World Cup.
6 David Steel: Was portrayed as being 'in the pocket' of David Owen, of the then Social Democratic Party, with which the Liberal Party had an alliance.
7 Alastair Burnet: The newsreader's puppet fawned over the Royal Family, in particular Princess Diana.
8 John Major: The grey man, he was depicted commenting on the peas on his dinner plate.
9 Norman Tebbit: Thatcher's bovver boy enforcer, he was a menacing character.
10 Mick Jagger: Those rubber lips became more rubbery than ever in his puppet portrayal.
