Synopsis

Headcases was an ITV satirical animation show based on current affairs. It employed the same satirical style as Spitting Image, 2DTV and Bo' Selecta! but using 3D animation created by UK Visual Effects and animation house Red Vision. Red Vision evolved a series of unique production techniques and a sophisticated animation pipeline to deliver the weekly topical elements of the series to hitherto impossible deadlines. The programme's first series began on 6 April 2008, with weekly episodes until 11 May 2008, airing on Sundays at 10 pm. A seventh episode was televised on Friday, 30 May at 10:30 pm, and an eighth at 10 pm on Sunday, 15 June. The show included celebrities, politicians and members of the British Royal Family in their animated form, taking a role in sketches including scenarios from their own topical issues. The show's name comes from the fact that all the subjects' caricatured faces are out of scale with the rest of their bodies.

spaceinge This comedy series shows celebrities and politicians for what they truly are and what they represent in the social context of todays world. I have no doubt that the usurpers of power (all those that have it) unmasked by this series want it cancelled but that will be a mistake and a serious loss for any chance of meaningful interpretation of western society in the 'naughties'. Of course any comparison with Spitting Image will leave it wanting but that is mainly due to the level of intelligence in the western world being considerably less now than it was 20 years ago, thus Headcases being a more 'stupid' series. If it was a weekly show would be far superior to any political satire show on air know, and a very useful instrument to help young people understand and make sense of this idiosyncratic society that surrounds and chokes us all.
mgproductions2006 those words perfectly describe the piece of vomit to the screen which calls it's self "headcases" watching it is the equivalent of rubbing your eyeballs with sandpaper.the comedy is so generic and unfunny and UN witty it just makes you go UGHGHGHGHGH the animation is decent.. they spent all the money on animation instead of decent writing and voices.its the same bad jokes over and over and over again every episode.the acting is soo poor and grueling.. and I've seen bad acting.. heck I'm a Troma fan! i don't see how a series this completely unfunny gets on the comedy channel pure..utter..dribble..should be canceled immediately every second is gruelingly unfunny to watch.i rarely do reviews.. but i felt forced with this piece of $H1T!.
foylepher "Headcases" is a new British television show that is more British humor than anything. The animation is just brilliant, the voice action is mediocre and finally the writing....is terrible. With sketches like Modonna is really a man with a very deep voice does not need very much brain work to write. I watched one episode and didn't want to watch anymore, if i was to watch it again i would not like it. Some of the characters have great features and some are a little over the edge with that persons unnatural features. This is one of those show that will be loves by few and hated but lots. I will give this a 5/10 only for the animation.
furrymustards That is NOT Rowan Atkinson, it's George Osbourne you dummy! Definitely for adults only. Who are these people that don't "get it"??? Kids!!?? This show is a gem. Right from the start I knew that "At Last"!! a semi-mainstream TV show that kicks celebs & politicians right in the nuts. The voice-overs are terrific with Jon Culshaw, Omid Djalili giving their all, and the Beckhams is worthy of it's own show!! I have still to meet anyone who dislikes the show, or thinks that it is of poor quality. Some of the political jokes I don't agree with, and I'm sure Al Fayeds' Conspiracies will never cover 9/11 (wink!) but on the whole I think it's a refreshing and long overdue return to Sunday night satire on British TV.It's all Prans Fallaps fault!!!
