  • "Go Now!" is a song from Spitting Image, used as the finale of Episode 1 of Series 8. Originally, Go Now was written by Larry Banks and Milton Bennett, before first being performed by Bessie Banks in January 1964. The song was later recorded by The Moody Blues in November of the same year, who's recording of it is the best known. Several years later in 1990, Go Now was used in Spitting Image as a "tribute" to Margaret Thatcher's leaving and retiring from Parliament. The song begins with Roy Hattersley, the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, addressing the House of Commons and the Speaker, stating that Thatcher should "follow example of most of her able Cabinet Ministers" and resign from office, to which the Opposition is heavily in favour of. Thatcher then stands, and claims that she still has "the support of her Party." However, judging from the mumbled reactions of her underlings, this is obviously not the case. When Thatcher attempts to bully them into submission as she had done numerous times before, Michael Heseltine stands in defiance, and leads the House in song, expressing their joint desire for Thatcher to "Go Now"...
