I was in a branch of Flying Tiger (somewhere around London) today and noticed they were selling something that appeared to be Stroopwaffles - only they didn't actually call them that. - Gosh how it reminded me of you guys. Many years ago a bunch of European Muppet fans seemed to spend quite a...

Dark Crystal's appearance on Blue Peter was 40 years ago today. I actually very vaguely remember watching this at the time. - I think I was a bit too young to really understand what it was all about. I just remember these people were doing strange things with their arms at about head height. I...

I don’t usually do Fan Art. I very much admire those of you who have created your own fan art. I just don’t have much art talent myself. However, However, I do a bit of quilt making, and for once I’ve made something which I think could be included as such ….. About 5 or 6 years ago, I was...

Twenty years ago (and it was in early January) I started my own little contribution to the world of Muppet-fan sites, by launching a fansite about my favourite Muppeteer, namely Louise Gold. And twenty years on the site is still here - Although about 5 years ago I had to move the site to a new...

Last Sunday, The Observer Newspaper's magazine section had an article about Puppeteers, UK ones. It happend to include The Muppets, mainly because Louise Gold happens to be one of the puppeteer's featured in the article. Just thought I'd mention it incase anyone happened to be interested.

This week it is 39 years since the Edgar Bergen episode of TMS. Which means it is 39 Years to the week (maybe even to the day) that The Muppets first British puppeteer officially worked for them (apart from her audition on the Rich Little episode). And despite a very on-off puppeteering career...

Just wanted to let people know, that I've moved my fansite about Louise Gold to a new domain. It is now on: http://www.qsulis.org.uk/Website_Louise_Gold/Start.htm and I've done a few updates to it, most noteably: Pages about The Furchester Hotel, with a review of about half of it (I know that...

Just wanted to mention, that this weekend was 'West End Live' 2015, in Trafalgar Square. Apparently this year every show in London's West End was represented. And there was one appearance which might be of interest to Muppet fans. The musical Gypsy was represented by the song 'You Gotta Get A...

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...

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...

If anyone is interested I have added a review of Louise Gold's recent performance in the 'Lost Musicals' concert staging of 'Mexican Hayride' to my website about her, see: http://www.qsulis.demon.co.uk/Website_Louise_Gold/Mexican_Hayride_Review.htm It was good to see her once again being such...

If anyone is interested Louise Gold appeared in an episode of Coronation Street last Thursday (9 June). She played a judge in a court-room scene. Not a particularly good role for her (as it didn't give her much scope to really show what she is capable of), however, she did of course play the...

In 'The Stage' last week there was an article about theatre stars backing the campaign to bring back talent agency licensing in Britain. The article (see: http://www.thestage.co.uk/news/newsstory.php/31022/theatre-stars-back-campaign-for-talent-agency ) mentions that Tim Piggott-Smith, Arnold...

I was browsing the web not long ago, and came across a petition campaigning to get the BBC Scotland Tv comedy series 'Laugh...? I Nearly Paid My Licence Fee released on DVD. Since Creature Shop Actors John Sessions and Robbie Coltrane were both in it, as was Louise Gold, it seems like a good...

The other day I received an email about the 2-Wheel Appeal's latest Charity Fundraiser. The person who forwarded the email about it, thought it worth mentioning that it is scheduled to have Spitting Image's Puppet-Mistress Louise Gold among their entertainers. They are also scheduled to have the...

Given that Jerry Nelson and Louise Gold are one of the great Muppet Musical double acts, I thought it might be interesting to try and compile a list of their duets. I've divided this list into three catagories: 'duets', 'Sort Of duets' (ie numbers that aren't intentionally Jerry and Louise...

Recently, I went to see one of The Discovering Lost Musicals Charitable Trust's shows, Darling Of The Day. I've been to their things quite a number of times over the years, but in recent years I've kind of felt there was an element missing. So it's a quite thrill this time, after a gap of nine...
