Priti Sushil Patel is a supporting antagonist in the ITV reboot of Spitting Image.
She served as Home Secretary during the time that the real-life Priti Patel served in the same position.
She was voiced by Indira Varma, who also portrayed Ellaria Sand in Game of Thrones and Suzie Costello in Torchwood.
Physical appearance[]
Patel is given a vampiric look, with sharp fangs and often seen wearing a black cape and a red blouse. She is depicted with black hair and brown skin and has an angular jaw. Whilst her head is a puppet, her hands, like most Spitting Image puppets, are that of her puppeteer's.
Personality[]
Patel is depicted as a callous, heartless individual. This is drawn from Patel's hostile approach toward migration during her position as Home Secretary (except toward Israeli migrants). She appears to be adept with witchcraft, and has uncontrollable desires toward Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister under whom she served.
She shows little to no remorse when embroiled in scandal, with flippant arrogance when it comes to making a public apology. She is widely feared by the cabinet, who hide from her and try not to contradict her.
She is characterised with speech elision, where she does not pronounce the final consonant in a word. This is true to the real-life Priti Patel, who does the same.
Biography[]
Background[]
Patel is seen to work as a dominatrix which is frequented by Michael Gove. Alongside this, she served as Home Secretary under Johnson's cabinet. She also is seen to be a vampire and a witch.
Spitting Image[]
Patel is introduced as a dominatrix which is visited by Michael Gove. Gove asks Patel to list off her most abhorrent (and contradictory) Conservative opinions that only she can espouse due to her womanhood and Asian heritage.
Patel is later seen smoking and drinking from donor bags of blood on a migration route to the UK. She is asked by migrants when they can enter the UK, to which she says they cannot unless they answer niche British culture questions and earn over £30 million a year. She is asked by Johnson to go to France to engage in more Brexit negotiations, but refuses to due to the amount of garlic which repels vampires.
At home, she attempts to prepare a meal with yoghurt, but discovers she has run out. Indifferent, she reaches for milk and pours it into the yoghurt pot, where she glares at it, causing it to curdle into yoghurt.
She later attends Johnson's séance to reanimate the corpse of Winston Churchill to restore glory to the Conservative Party. Patel assists by preparing a witch's brew containing eye of newt and an entire puppy. However, Johnson instead reanimates Margaret Thatcher. Patel becomes overwhelmed with attraction to the Johnson/Thatcher creation and kisses it, claiming that if she "had a pulse it would be racing".
When Thatcher learns that Britain left the EU after her death, she questions what idiotic plan is next, and jokingly suggests catching immigrants with nets (a serious suggestion made by the real-life Priti Patel). Patel awkwardly stammers at this suggestion. Patel, Dominic Raab, Matt Hancock and Michael Gove try to free Johnson from Thatcher's possession by consulting a daemonology book. The book tells them to sacrifice someone, and they all quickly agree to sacrifice Hancock. Patel says the sacrifice must also be a virgin, which leading the group to conclusively decide Hancock is being sacrificed. Using brute force, Patel reaches into Hancock's body and removes his heart whilst he is still conscious.
With Thatcher's spirit defeated, Johnson questions what happened, to which the cabinet informs him they sacrificed Hancock, which Johnson supports. Patel later becomes embroiled in a public scandal after reports are made against her for bullying Home Office staff. Johnson tells Patel that she must apologise or face recognition. Patel initially refuses to and claims that the staff deserved it, but Johnson tells her she has to apologise publicly to prevent the Conservatives from facing further humiliation. Patel offers a veiled, insulting and unfelt apology, which is rebutted by Hancock due to her ripping his heart out of his chest, which Patel caveats, saying it was "unintentional".
