Matt was performed by Dave Goelz. Where have you heard about Marty performing him? Perhaps he did the country specific inserts for one of the international productions, in manner of David Barclay, Mike Quinn etc.

Jim generally thought of merchandising as a means to an end. Merchandising = money = higher production standards

And the even earlier Gerry Anderson supermarionation shows.

It has been done before. In the UK the Hogarth Puppets (famed for Muffin the Mule) had a touring trailer/caravan theatre. I have seen a horsebox with a back that drops down revealing a Punch and Judy booth. Steve Hansen's Promenade Players at Epcot also had a circus/gypsy wagon with a side...

Not to worry. As for there never being a real Kermit sold...you never know. A lot of famous puppets (Archie Andrews, Lord Charles, Sooty, various Thunderbirds etc characters, and an early Fozzie) have appeared recently...so you never know.

You were going for metaphor, I was going for humour...never mind.

I think you'd have to pay a little more than that!

Didn't know that (or heard but just forgot!). Can you elaborate when you've got a minute. Cheers J

Ronnie is one of the UK's best marionettists. Glad to see he's keeping that side of performing up.

Good to see you back on MC Warrick.

And they did do a very succesful run of Family shows in Scotland this summer.

They are being very specific with this. That armadillo puppet could be playing a real estate agent called Kevin who gets his kicks by groping Paris Hilton as she goes shopping at Wal Mart (all ideas that came up in the various shows I saw in Scotland). So it is a different character. Hensons...

Puppets not characters. There's a big (and probably legal) difference.

They're not actual Muppet characters. Can't see Disney allowing that. And even when they are recycling old Henson puppets (e.g. Raisin) they are performed as completley different characters, only the physical appearance is the same.

Oh the irony...there's an advert for the Series 1 DVD set during the ad break. Someone has a sense of humour over there. On a more positive note...Nice to see long time British Hensons associate Janet Knechtel is credited as a rigger.

Thanks. My French isn't what it used to be but some of it is quite funny. Not overly impressed with Clifford...but hey...what's new?!

One off vs Mass produced. Whatever the legal issues - and I agree with you on this one Marky - a good copy of the mona lisa painted especially, is always going to sell for more than a print.
