Dare you catch a glimpse of Putin’s Lunchbox?

World Exclusive: Starting on Tuesday May 5th we’re broadcasting PUTIN’S LUNCHBOX, a new animated chat show LIVE on The Poke every lunchtime at 1pm.

Leader of the free world VLADIMIR PUTIN (played by Nat Tapley) with co-host KATE MIDDLETON (Jake Yapp) will be taking on the sorry mess that is election week, chatting to real human guests like Ken Livingstone, Edwina Currie and Katie Hopkins LIVE from our London studio.

Sounds good doesn’t it? Well we’ve got absolutely no idea how it’s going to turn out so please be patient with us!

We’re doing this in conjunction with special effects wizards Framestore (Gravity, Harry Potter) and as it turns out, making a motion capture animation work in real time, without one of those swimsuits covered in electric golf balls, is pretty difficult.

We think we’re right in saying this is a comedy world first, so it would be great if you could witness our wobbly baby steps on Tuesday 1pm when Vlad will be talking to KEN LIVINGSTONE right here on The Poke.

Have a great weekend and see you then!
