In the week that saw the happy announcement that Spitting Image is returning to our screens, we are joined by one of the original crew (he made Rolf Harris). Wilfrid Wood is one of the pre-eminent sculptors (not the Rodin type) and modern artists working in Britain today. His work is unique, playful and often ironic, especially his 3D portraits of the likes of Macca, Wazza, Bojo and Greta. He is also known for his superb caricatures. Amongst lots of other things, we discuss what it means to be beautiful and the current craze for over-doing the old makeup.
[Oh, and correction: It was Cheryl Cole whose waxwork was recently removed from Tussauds. Seaniebee would like to apologise unreservedly to Sheryl Crow (who is probably too classy to have ever had one in the first place)].
