00:00After being elected for a historic third term, Mayor Sadiq Khan has been immortalised in wax
00:07by the company behind Madame Tussauds and the London Eye.
00:11The question is, is the wax work even better than the real thing?
00:16Well, let's take a look.
00:18Crikey, bloody hell.
00:23That is not bad, he's even got my pose.
00:27Look at the hair.
00:31Wow.
00:35It's fantastic, he is fantastic, look at that.
00:39What do you reckon?
00:46I'm sorry, but the two words that spring to mind is bloody hell.
00:50So this is the suit I wore the first time I won.
00:55It's spellbinding, I mean, in a non-pompous way.
01:00It's remarkable what you've done.
01:02Are you guys happy? Wow.
01:04I mean, it's just unbelievable.
01:06I can't believe it.
01:12You've captured everything.
01:14I mean, much to my displeasure, but yeah.
01:17Couldn't you have improved me?
01:19You had a chance to make me better.
01:23It's very weird, but it's spellbinding.
01:26Of course I knew what the project was,
01:29but to see the finished project is just amazing.
01:33The team have clearly worked incredibly hard.
01:36I've got a couple of complaints.
01:38They could have made me a foot taller,
01:40a bit less bags, but I'm afraid that's what I look like.
01:43It's just amazing.
01:45The two words I said, I'm not sure if they were caught on camera.
01:48Apologies, but bloody hell.
01:50I mean, it's just remarkable.
01:52I can see now why Madame Tussauds is the best in the world.
01:55You've managed to capture every single wart and all,
01:58grey hair and all, of me.
02:00I've got to make sure my wife leaves with the right one.
02:03But it's amazing, and I just think
02:06I'm in awe of the talent that the team has got here now.
02:10It's a bit weird seeing yourself in 3D,
02:14looking back at you, even, you know,
02:17nicking my pose.
02:19But I think they've done a great job.
02:22I can't take my eyes off it, him, he.
02:25But it's just quite... I'm in shock.
02:28I've got to admit, as somebody who's been to Madame Tussauds many times,
02:32I didn't fully appreciate the attention to detail,
02:35the number of artists working
02:38on each and every model that's made,
02:42the amount of time that goes into it,
02:44the different angles of photographs,
02:46the artistry, the professionalism,
02:49the art and the science.
02:51And when you see this, you can see why.
02:54And you can see why the world is envious of Madame Tussauds.
02:57I'm here in the workshop where all these great models are made,
03:01and I think Madame Tussauds is one of our best exports.
03:04I'm incredibly proud that it's made in London.
