Oh and Why Bird from Playbus. I thought she was great. There was a show on Milkshake! on Five in the mornings that was brightly coloured monsters. I think it may have been called Happy Monsters. I watched that every morning. :D Was always a bit scared of Rosie and Jim though - and as for Tots...

I don't know how much of their stuff has been promoted or shown over here in the UK, to be honest. I've only encountered Swami Jeff on the internet via YouTube - because it was in someone's playlist who liked (or made) Nanalan'. And I only found out about Nanalan from the Puppetvision blog, then...

God, sorry most of these will go over your heads unless you were in the UK but here goes... In no particular order. I was a bit young for Muffin the Mule/Andy Pandy/Larry The Lamb/Pipkins/Pinky and Perky et al but I do remember Bill and Ben, who terrified me. I think I have an issue with a...

Oh! I'm loving Apollo's Pad! Apollo is excellent and I love his son and the son's friend. Loved the Apollo slipping on Oprah's fat moment yesterday. I love a good puppet fall. :-) Is it a labour of love or is it a pre-promotion for a TV show? Either way, definitely has me hooked. I'm there every...

Oh, I'm really enjoying the Return to the Labyrinth manga series so far. I've got the Dark Crystal first one in my 'to be read' pile too and I'm looking forward getting a chance to indulge in that one. I was a bit dubious about what the take on it would be like before I read the Return to the...

If there are any of you in the UK on here, you can watch it on the BBC iPlayer. I suspect it's not available to people outisde the UK, but it might be worth a go. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/b009s906.shtml I found it by going to the official Sesame Tree Website (...

Well, unless they have a DADA, in which case they aren't. But that's certainly what has put me off doing the Central puppetry course previously. I didn't get a place on the Michael Earl course. It was booked up. :(

Well I'm going on the City Lit one which starts this weekend and then I've signed up to the Michael Earl one in London in April - and I have no experience, so hopefully he'll be prepared for a few newbies. Are any of you chewie on The Stage's forums? They've been talking about it over there too...

I was just wondering if there was anyone on here who had been on any of the training courses or part time courses in the UK (particularly London) for puppetry training/making etc? Most of the ones I've seen look horrendously expensive or aimed at people who don't go to work full time (which I...
