Actually, although Louise Gold joined The Muppets in July 1977 (during Season II of TMS), she did not receive a screen credit until Season III of TMS in 1978.

If anyone is interested I recently updated my fansite about Louise Gold, to include a section on the Side By Side By Sondheim 30th Anniversary Gala, on the 21 May 2006. The actual 'Stars' of the show were: Millicent Martin, David Kernan & Julia McKenzie. But other performers included...

Not quite Newcastle, but not far away. Some of you may be interested to know that Louise Gold made her musical theatre debut in Sunderland in the autumn of 1974, in a production of Hair.....

Well in 1989, Hensons made a TV series with Tyne Television called 'The Ghost Of Faffner Hall. - Several fairly notable Muppeteers performed on the programme. (well 3 of them had been TMS puppeteers - and two of those members of The Eight). Also, here's a teaser for you. From the 10 to 15...

Some of you might be interested in knowing this Sunday (16 April 2006) at 5pm GMT(with repeats for nearly a week after at 2pm GMT and 10pm GMT), on his show on Internet Theatre Radio, http://www.theatreradio.co.uk/ Tim McArthur will be interviewing Louise Gold. Unfortunately my current...

Last Sunday (9 April) at 9pm on BBC 1 there was a documentary (first of a two part series) 'The Queen At 80' , they had some clips from the Queen's Jubilee in 2002, particularly from the pop concert 'Party At The Palace'. In one of these clips I couldn't help noticing one gentleman on the stage...

It is very easy to get details wrong. Either because something is plain wrong in a piece of source material. Such as referring to a magazine article that had actually got something wrong. Or because we make infernaces from somewhat unclear information. Here's two examples: It might be...

Not always. In the Carol Burnett episode wasn't she the one who brought an alien (played by Big Mamma) onboard the Swinetreck?

She was referred to as "Big Mamma" in are article in the TV Times (LookIn section) for the 16 December 1978. Her regular muppeteer refers to the character by that name. She is also referred to as Big Mamma or Big Mama on Kermitage, and I seem to recall a few years ago on the MC msgboard...

I've just been going through the credits for various Muppet films, and have noticed the following: MCC had a unit nurse named Amy Medical MTI had a carpenter named Paul Carpenter. Just had to share this bit of triva. Emma

If anyone is interested, Louise Gold is joining the cast of the West End production of Mary Poppins quite soon. possibly 10 April. She is replacing Rosemary Ash in the somewhat minor, rather nasty role of Miss Andrews. - she seems to be making a habit of playing villainesses, Last year she...

Hmm, my favourites are Raisin from The Secret Life of Toys, or if you want a more Mupptey muppet then Annie Sue gets my vote, because she (like Raisin) is striingly similar to my favourite musical theatre performer [~¦#%

I don;t know, but I can guess. My guess is that at that time, the Muppets were still very much into developing characters to particular performers. Many of those Season 1 characters that were more or less dropped were Eren Ozkar's. She left the show. So they developed a new bunch of characters...

Well, Annie Sue is very much Louise Gold's character.The character was designed for her to perform. With a few notable exceptions in the early 1990s, the majority of Louise Gold's work with the muppet's has been when they've been in Britain, and even then it seems to depend somewhat on when her...

While we're on the subject, here's my favourite dynanic duo of muppeteers (or rather of their characters): From The Muppet Show Cowboy Jerry & Lou The Jugband Lady Singin' Owl & Zelda Rose (Recording version of Who not the TMS version) From Sesame Street: Herry Monster & Louisey Herry...

Don't forget: Tico Tico - strange as it may seem, apparently Annie Sue sang it! (I've not seen it, but looked it up on Kermitage - I was surprised to read it was one of Annie Sue's, since its rather a fast tempo number, and great singer though she is, fast tempo singing isn't exactly one of...

The Muppets were all Whatnots. They were if I remember rightly whatnots (vaguely humanised ones) representing. A Man - forget why he ends up in a cupboard A Lady who came to see why Marisa's character was not in school - ends up in the fridge - I think LG probably puppeteered her. A...

I think there may be a couple of other reasons the pigs were so well used. Miss Piggy was one of the few major 'star' characters you would generally use in a song situation, it tended to fit in with her character. While Annie Sue's great singing voice ensured that she just had to crop up in...

Nigel Plaskitt joined for the Second season, and he became Leading Puppeteer from then on (right up until the show ended).
