The second series of the potshot puppet satire continues. It may be more interested in being mean about celebrities than angry at politicians, but at least Newzoids has a distinctive look: the primitive Action Man-style marionettes with weirdly slick CGI mouths are vividly grotesque. Tonight's instalment also promises some blue-on-blue action by taking an axe to ITV2 totem Keith Lemon and Xtra Factor host Rylan Clark-Neal among others.
