The New Statesman

The New Statesman is a sitcom that aired on ITV from 1987 to 1994 spanning four seasons and three specials. The series satirizes the UK's Conservative Party from the late 80s/early 90s.

Jim Henson's Creature Shop was credited on screen for Special Effects Mask in "Who Shot Alan B'Stard?", the 1990 special that aired between the second and third seasons.

A dream sequence in the special involved a man's face being torn away from his skull by a creature in his bed. The effect included the flesh being pulled and stretched until it was removed, revealing his muscle structure beneath.
