Scope and Contents

A Dave Gaskill cartoon that has a representation of British ITN newsreader, Reginald Bosanquet, as a Spitting Image puppet. The Bosanquet puppet is being operated by a puppeteer, and is presenting the [ITV] News at Ten programme. A female crew member is seen addressing the puppeteer, and there is the caption: 'Look, you'll just have to keep at it until they've got his successor sorted out!'

This cartoon was printed in the 19 June 1990 issue of the British newspaper, Today. Roger Law was given a copy of the paper, and he cut out the cartoon from that issue and had it framed.
