In popular culture

Dead Ringers (radio)

• In "Episode Three" (series 5) of the BBC 4 Radio sketch show Dead Ringers, Prime Minister Tony Blair (Jon Culshaw) phoned up MGM Studios in New York to talk about resolving the conflict between Tom and Jerry. He believes that bringing them together will bring peace to all other cartoon animals. Blair's opinion is that when Spike appears, he also escalates the tension between the two. The composure and willingness to cooperate in helping, makes Culshaw break character and laugh.
