The show was Spitting Image I also remember the puppets appearing in the Genesis video for "Land of Confusion". Here's a litte more info:There were some attempts to produce a U.S. Version of the show, with a 45-minute 'made for market' show by the original Spitting Image team. The plot involved a conspiracy to replace Ronald Reagan with a double (actually actor Dustin Hoffman in disguise).

This plan was hatched by the Famous Corporation, a cabal of the ultra-rich headed by Johnny Carson's foil Ed McMahon (in the show, Carson was his ineffectual left-hand man) who met in a secret cavern hollowed out behind the facade of Mount Rushmore. Eventually, their plot foiled, the famous corporation activated their escape pod - Abraham Lincoln's nose - and left Earth for another planet, but (in a homage to the beginning of the Star Wars movies) were destroyed during a collision with 'a nonsensical prologue in gigantic lettering'. The show was successful, attracting great praise from US critics, and a homegrown variant was attempted.

DC Follies had a passing resemblance to Spitting Image, but owed more to Sesame Street (human participants trying to talk sense to the puppets) and was not considered as funny. Sources: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086807/ .

The show was a British series named 'Spitting Image'. My spouse being the avid memoriser of nonsensical rubbish remembers this show fondly. They took the pee out of world leaders from just about every country.'Spitting Image', I hope this is what you are looking for.

They are from the British TV show called Spitting Image The song is widely remembered for its music video, which had heavy airplay on MTV. The video actually drew controversy for its portrayal of Ronald Reagan as being physically and cognitively inept. The video features puppets by the British television show Spitting Image.

After Phil Collins saw a disfigured version of himself on the show, he commissioned the show's creators, Peter Fluck and Roger Law, to create puppets of the entire band, as well as all the characters in the video. The video, directed by John Lloyd & Jim Yukich and produced by Jon Blair, won the short lived Grammy during the 1988 Grammys. The video was also nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best Music Video in 1987, but lost to "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel (coincidentally, Genesis' former lead singer).

It also made the number-one spot on The Village Voice critic Robert Christgau's top 10 music videos in his year-end "Dean's List" feature, and number three on the equivalent list in his annual survey of music critics, Pazz & Jop (again losing out to "Sledgehammer"). "Land of Confusion" was also a track used for the final episode of the 1980's cop show Miami Vice (in which Phil Collins periodically played a minor role) called "Freefall" and was applied as the characters of the show Crocket (Don Johnson) and Tubbs (Phillip Thomas) were in the middle of a stakeout. The song was to imply the complexity of the story during the finale.
