Awards, 1984 - 1995

 Series
Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Add.10275/3/11

Scope and Contents

A range of award certificates and statues from British and international media entertainment trade associations and festivals, awarded to Spitting Image Productions Limited. The majority of items relate to the company's work on Spitting Image. However, other television and straight-to-video productions are represented, along with the short animated film The Big Story, and a number of commercials produced by SIPL for external companies.

Along with the awards, there are a number of certificates and plaques given to SIPL, which acknowledge a production was a finalist for a particular award category. A small amount of ephemera is also present.

The awards in this section only reflect a small portion of the prizes that the company received over the course of its operations. Many of the absent awards will be in the hands of various producers, such as John Lloyd and Jon Blair.
