Hi Guys,

Just watched the documentary screened on Channel 4 about The Henson Puppeteers Mak Wilson and Brian Herring. It was a good documentary, showing some of their work on Construction Site, Mopatop Shop and the Hoobs and a couple of Muppet Show clips. Lovely stuff said about Jim, a good watch, just a shame it was so short. The Puppeteers were talking about how they got into puppetery, how to develop character voices and the day Jim died. The show was very interesting to watch but as it was only 10 minutes long there was not too much depth which was a pity :(

Yeah it was very cool. Brian Herring is 'Hubba Hubba' and helped out with some of the Hoobs stuff i wrote for TP a while back. It was cool to see them do the voices and a wider shot of them puppeteering, shame Groove's puppeteer didn't get interviewed even though you saw him performing.
