*creeps up behind Mr Moppet and taps him on his shoulder* Mr Moppet! ... Oh sorry did I frighten you? Oh right, the suspicious looking van! Sorry I didn't mean to scare you! Well, I wish I had time to help you solve this mystery, but I don't I'm packed and ready to go; you see I've had...

It's not going to do much for the estate of Roald Dahl...

Harvey Towers: Everyone is slowing down now Mrs Emily Bear: Well, they should be, everyone is dog tired Harvey Towers: They're not! *Two large mountian rescue dogs dance by in a three-beats-to-the-bar manner* Mrs Emily Bear: Oh, the St Benard's Waltz!

Some say some are rodents... Beaker is a guinea pig and Scooter is a gopher .. but that's occupation not species... As for Kermit, I don't know of any other frogs that sing or dance...

Despite owning no Muppet Treasure Island figure, I think that Hispaniola playset is the most attractive of all those listed - collector's have mentioned before that they were without a place to put them and this might have spurred me to buy some of the pirate-style figures...

The penguins always appeared as a group, but I liked the fact that the rats - especially in Muppets take Manhatten- were each given there own personalities and character...

Well, in the published unfinished version that may well have happened (I haven't read it yet) but it should have eventually become another Hitchhiker book, had Douglas not sadly died before it's completion. Oh, and what's the Muppet reference?

Well, I don't think he ever planned for them to merge or anything, I think the character Dirk Gently was removed as the novel wasn't working and then he eventually decided to write another 'final' Hitchhikers. The title was kept as the books dust jackets had already been printed... unfortunately...

The Salmon of the Doubt almost became a Hitchhiker book, intended to pick up on some of the threads laid down in the Second Radio Series. Only the title remained constant on the basis that it was equally irrelevant to either verison of the story...

Cut to Wilson's ...transisional period... My gosh all that policing was very hard work indeed. I'm hungry, famished, ravenous even... *bites into several hot dogs* Mmm, now that's better! What's that SuZan? A communication from the Superintendant? I mean: a memo from the management...

I'm a fan - but more of the books and radio series than the movie - sorry, but Stephen Moore should have been Marvin...

If you'd asked me a couple of weeks ago the list would have been, well, non-existant... Beauregard (Practically everyday and responsible for me starting to talk to practically everybody else...) Vibs (Every day or at least every other day) minidoozer (Every day or at least every other day...

I don't know if George began as a whatnot, but he seems to have ended up as one; that is to say he appeared in Muppets Tonight in an Elvis sketch with a different voice for the puppet playing Benjamin Franklin (I think it was Franklin...)

Stand back everybody, I'll take care of this! There are procedures to follow. SuZan pass me the megaphone. Come on you can roll up paper faster than that! Thank you *clears throat* Right! Come out with your hands up! *Nothing happens* Well. my work here is done.. Any one else want to...

My Uncle Deadly just arrived today! The figure looks great, but the ghost is a bit off, that is the paint job isn't great: covered in brush strokes with lots o unpainted bits shining through - I didn't realise that all he ghosts are made of clear plastic. Anybody else got this problem? Just...

They did sell the Sal prototype though...

1. who are your top five favorite/ least favorite figures? In any old order: Clifford, Sam, Rowlf, Pops, Beauregard As for least favs, I've never liked the look of the early Piggy's or S2 Gonzo 2. were any figures better/ worse than you expected? I don't know, I didn't really expect...

*thinks* It's just as well I'm towing them, else I'd have to charge them with driving without due care and attention; or is that driving with undue care and attention? SuZan, write out a ticket. Thank you, hmm, buff 42, looks like we've just won a porcelian mallet in the raffle...

*A "Police Car" pulls up alongside Mrs Moppet's* SuZan, take the wheel. Well the one inside the car would have done. *Mr Harvey rolls down his window* Ah, Mrs Mr-Moppet's-Wife, good to see you again! I was just on my way to rescue your husband before you decided to take the law into...
