I think us longstanding Muppetbuffs should find the yodelling epsiode somethng special. Warrick Brownlow-Pike has a major part in it. Wow.

YMBAOMF If: You tell your pre-schooler they can't watch a epsiode of a "Sesame Street " spin off series (an episode of which is being broadcast in a few minutes) until they've picked up the parcel packaging materials they just threw all over your kitchen floor... But then you relent, and both...

Have you spotted who's performing the Alligator in the bath :)

I personally love many of the ones with random characters singing strange songs. Yes some weren't so good. But sometimes you could get some real gems in there, especially when either Jerry or Louise had anything to do with the singing (well with the possible exception of Kermit and Fozzie...

The BBC Media Centre has some interviews up with some of the Furchester puppeteers, including: David Rudman, Ryan Dillon, and Louise Gold. If anyone is interested check out: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/mediapacks/thefurchesterhotel

The first episiode of Furchestr is now on BBC Iplayer. I watched it on TV today (and then again on Iplayer). I am very pleased to see Louise properly used. She even gets to do a monster hug. And best of all she gets to sing, admittedly basically ensemble songs, but at least she's singing (I was...

Thanks for pointing those out, I hadn't noticed those ones, But one other one I did notice was that Fletcher Bird trained at "The Royal Avian Dance Academy Of Covent Garden" - which is clearly a reference to The Royal Ballet (or should I say the British Royal Ballet) which is based at The Royal...

Yes and very interesting to see that the past year or so seems to have found her back puppeteering with a vengeance. One film and two TV series - all involving Hensons/Muppets, and at least two miscellaneous appearances for Spitting Image's 30th Anniversary as well. Well she always has been a...

I like the book. It's fun. I did smile on reading thebit in Annie Sue's entry about her having been working on the stage in various musicals. - I can't help thinking, that could be a subtle reference to her Muppeteer's work, and coincidentally, two or the three "musicals" mentioned are parodies...

I'm looking for teeth brushing songs and sketches. BUT in particular I am looking for ones where one character has their teeth brushed by another (there are a lot about people brushing their own teeth but rather fewer where someone has their teeth brushed), So far the only ones I[ve found are...

Me too. I saw all the episodes and some of them twice (watched to repeat). I'd love to see it again. I think my favourite skits sort of have to be Punch Yer Lights Out and Life's A Speech. - I loved the way Miss Taptackle yelled "and remeber it's for charity". and for ages I couldn't work out...

There is an odd bit character in The Hoobs (not one of the main ones), I don't know what the character is called there, but it is a minor one, and well if you know the character I mean you will know why I can see that one singing this song.

Bert and Ernie once sang a song about 'Lonesome Joan', who "thought she had to do everything alone" and as a result did not learn to tie her shoelaces, or read and write. I am wondering what other songs and sketches are there on that theme? (ie using help from a parent or teacher etc) I am...

I remember one time I went to Barbican Cinema One to see a Concert Staging (one of the Lost Musicals), and there were a couple of elderly gentlemen sitting next to me, I did not know them, but we got talking. And ended up talking about one particular performer who was sometimes in those shows...

WOW! Wowee!. That is just THE BEST version of 'Friendship I have EVER seen or heard! - and I thought that one version I'd seen live and one particular CD of a studio cast album were good!. But this eclipses both: the version I saw live in the 2001 (Lost Musicals) production of DuBarry Was A Lady...

Honestly, well I think now I can understand that perhaps one of the reasons for the Disney deal might have been to force a letting go of the classic muppet characters, to force the company to HAVE to develop new characters for new programmes, with people no longer expecting to see the classic...

Yes I was pretty sure Amber was probably Louise Gold. - my only hesitation was that it is a kind of character that quite a few women puppeteers, including Louise, are capable of. Though watching an 'interview' clip on MSN today also made me feel sure it must be her. And I realised she HAD to be...

So, now I am wondering, do we have any definitive info on who performs which character? - I mean it's been fairly widely put down in print about Brian Henson performing the science expert. while it was absolutely clear to me watching it last night that Jemima Taptackle just HAS to be Louise...

Very much enjoyed it. Not entirely sure who is puppeteering what, except for one really obvious piece, but its all very well done. I am wondering whether Nigel Plaskitt could have been the tortoise. The only piece I would say for sure, is that I am certain that Jemima TapTackle is one of...

Well actually, although it's over 30 years since Caper. Louise worked with both Steve and Dave a little over 20 years ago on Christmas Carol (where at one point she was assisting Dave Goelz - which resulted in him deciding to name one of the film's chicken's after her). And the 18 years ago she...
