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 ...

My brief research into the matter sugguests that Waldo was the first, but there has been some evidence to suggest that Labyrinth had some interesting innovations in the use of computer technology, including possibly a primative version of what would become HPCS. Hope that Helps. Emma...

It's a tricky question, some definitions will include Creature Shop stuff, but I think many of their things don't really count. Although some Creature Shop stuff, such as Ghost Of Faffner Hall should. Not least because Ghost Of Faffner Hall, The Animal Show, and, Mopatop's shop all not only used...

Thank you, Now I wonder, can anyone do a proper listing of the main running order differences between the New York and London memorials?

Like when Louise performed a Viking-Pig that Jerry Nelson voiced (see photograph in the book OM&M).

Well I remember reading a passing reference in Lewis Chester's book 'Tooth And Claw', that on one occassion 'Spitting Image' had to hastily find an osteopath to treat a puppeteer who had cricked their back on a particular sketch, after treatment they finished the sketch, and then, the producer...

Norden Farm Centre For The Arts, have now added details of this to their own entry for the 29 March's performances. They have included a lovely descriptiption of Ms Gold (one which very definitely gives both her performer guises (musical theatre actress, and puppeteer) due credit.

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...

Well I think my choices would be: 1. Jim Henson 2. Frank Oz 3. Jerry Nelson 4. Richard Hunt 5. Dave Goelz 6. Steve Whitmire 7. Louise Gold 8. Carroll Spinney 9. Fran Brill 10. Kathryn Mullen I wanted to include Kathy because having included the rest of the TMS 8, I didn't want...

While we're on the subject, does anyone know whether or not Louise Gold took part in the London service? I mean we all know she took part in the NY one, but I've not come across any specific reference to her having participated in the London one. In many ways it seems likely that she would have...

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...

Both The Stage, and This Is London / The Evenign Standard have included photographs (that Louise is in) on their coverage of the show. I've added links to both of these on my site's section about it.

Just wanted to let anyone who might be interested know, that today I did a bit of updating of my fansite about Ms Gold, to include some details about her performance in Matthew Strachen's new musical Next Door's Baby at The Orange Tree Theatre. It may not be one of her best performances as...

While accepting the need for a strong female character, one who could rival Piggy, I don't think Annie Sue would be a good choice. Bring Spamela to the fore maybe. Or develope a new character to take on the role. I think there are certain characters, and Annie Sue is very one of them, whose...

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...

Yes the first link, Chris and Sue's guide is basically a pretty good masterlist and of Muppeteers and their Muppets, I would certainly recommend you check it out. It's the one many longstanding Internet Muppet fans always used to refer to, in the days before the Wiki. - Actually I still like to...

Hi, Welcome to the weird workd of Internet Muppetfandom. There are quite a few sites on the web where you may find details of which puppeteers performed which characters. In the good old days (of The Muppet Show - or TMS as we call it) it was largely the custom for characters to be...

Well well well, how interesting. The Rudolf Nureyev episode seems to have been filmed the week before the Elton John episode. We know that Louise was working on the show from the Edgar Bergan episode (mid July 1977) onwards. Could it be that the Muppets considered her as 'Trying out'...

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...
