Do you sometimes find yourself listening to a song and thinking "Oh wouldn't it have been great if The Muppets could have done that one on TMS"? I sometimes find this happens, usually involving songs which were written, or became known about long after TMS's day. So I thought I'd start a thread...

Some of you may already know that one of TMS's last Guest Stars Sir Roger Moore is scheduled star in the film Connemara Days. However what you may not know, is that in conjunction with that he is to become the chairman of a new film financing investment fund. Interestingly the fund's advisory...

The London production of Oliver! at Drury Lane has recently relaunched their website, it now includes official video footage of the show. See: http://www.oliverthemusical.com/video/ (Choose the filmed highlights one). Some of you might want to check it out. See if you can spot Louise Gold in...

Just wanted to note that today is the birthday of the bandleader Jack Parnell - who conducted the real band for TMS.

I don't know if anyone else has got the new Cast Album for the musical Oliver! yet, and if so whether you've heard it. But it's certainly an interesting one. Rowan Atkinson is different to Ron Moody, and 'You've Got To Pick A Pocket Or Two' is recognisably him. But to hear his 'Reviewing The...

I'm not sure how to get the thread on this subjectthat appears in another section moved. But I think it's really more appropriate to put it here. I've been making some amendments to my review of it, mainly to bring more detail to what a certain minor principal is doing as part of the...

I thought it being Christmas I'd concoct a little quiz for you guys. I would have posted in the "Games" section, but for some reason I know not, I am not allowed to post there. So I've put it here (on the basis that it is a quiz about "Henson People", but if the forum moderators feel it should...

Yes I know this musical is in previews (it's got a month of them). So I won't say too much. But I saw it last Wednesday, and I have to say I was generally very impressed with it. Sometimes there is nothing quite like a professional production. Rowan Atkinson does well with Fagin. The...

Sometimes in these days where so called comedy seems to contain so much smut, obscenity, and violence, it can make one long for the good clean innocent harmless fun of things like The Muppets, and Morecombe and Wise. Where jokes would so often be based around innocent “misunderstandings” which...

I've been having a bit of a clear-out, and have just put a small collection of Muppet items on Ebay see item No: 160293165190. This includes BT phone cards. I've also got some non-Muppet things, up, if anyone is interested.

I am trying to compile as complete a list as I can of Louise Gold's Sesame Street credits, see: http://www.qsulis.demon.co.uk/Website_Louise_Gold/Sesame_Street.htm I was wondering if any of the longstanding/series fans who have a handle on this, perhaps you could take a look at the list I've...

I've just noticed that that wonderful mail order shop Anything Lefthanded, is currently asking members of it's lefthanders club to nominate a "Famous Lefthander of 2008". They are asking people to choose to nominate High profile lefthanders who have achived greatness in their field in 2008...

Today's edition of the Independent newspaper has an interesting interview with Peter Fluck on the subject of CGI versus good old fashioned puppetry, see http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/headcases-we-were-miles-better-says-spitting-image-creator-805232.html

Last Saturday in Maidenhead (29 March 2008), I saw Louise Gold's latest performance of her cabaret act, Singing-wise Ms Gold was on great form, the show also included an appearance from Nigel Plaskitt. Anyway if anyone wants to know more about it, see the following review ...

Just in case anyone might be interested in bidding: I've just put a bunch of Star Trek books (mostly novels, plus a few other misc bits) on Ebay. Nothing special, but quite a little collection. Item #160212660933 I've also got some Muppet bits (again nothing special), a set of Phone...

One of the guys involved with running Norden Farm Centre For The Arts at Maidenhead, in Surrey (UK), has asked me to pass on the message that Louise Gold is scheduled to make a headlining guest appearance at James Church's Monthly Cabaret Saturday 29 March 2008. I have of course put the info...

The London fringe theatre (a sort of London equivalent to Off-Broadway or maybe Off off off off Broadway) isn't usually the sort of place to find a leading West End performer. However I have recently read that the West End actress Louise Gold will be appearing in a fringe musical (called Next...

Here is a question for those of you with fairly extensive Muppet Collections (especially those whose collections include unusual items). – You might also want to apply this to other similar collections. Given that adults (of any age) are often told one ought to make a will, I thought this worthy...

Back in the days before we all had mobile phones and ringtones, who rememebers having to go to the phone box and use a phone card when you were out and about? Well it wasn't so long ago. In fact about 10 years ago phone cards were still current enough that BT issued a special 'Muppet' set...

Recently on a thread, Travellingpat said of the Muppeteers "Hey these guys are famous in our eyes" Yet they don't often get recognised as such by a wider audience. But just occasionally they do actually get the recognition/role they deserve. There was one such occurrence about a week and a half...
