Been a puppeteer here in the UK for 13 years (ten of which spent at Nickelodeon). Any other UK puppeteers here?
Welcome Craig - fantastic to see you here. I'm UK too, and in the TV industry so know a few people who worked at Nick probably the same time. Which puppets did you do ? My fave UK puppeteer has to be David Claridge.

He moved to L.A i think but comes and goes. I saw your website, fantastic stuff - Bogey, Elvis and especially Fibber are all massive favourites. I heard about the Zig & Zag/Leps gameshow a while back, sounds so funny. I've never worked with puppets myself unfortunately - mostly just research, celebrity booking and i really enjoy writing now. Started off with some development training at BBC LE and was part of the whole Chris Evans thing at it's most craziest. Speaking of puppets, I met Basil Brush (and puppeteer) at the last toy fair, very talented guy.
