2DTV is a British satirical animated television series which was co-created and produced by Giles Pilbrow for ITV. It premiered on ITV on 27 March 2001 and was nominated for the Rose d'Or Award in both 2002 and 2003.[2][3]
The programme was considered the spiritual successor of Spitting Image, a 1980s series that also featured work by Pilbrow.[4] The show's style also paid homage to the animation studio Hanna-Barbera.[5] The voice cast included Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens and Mark Perry. 2DTV ran for five series before being cancelled in 2004 due to falling viewing figures.[6] It was succeeded in 2008 by the short-lived series Headcases.[7][8]
