Pretty Fly for an English guy...

Okay, it's not strictly Star Wars - but it is puppets. If there's anyone out there who's into my weird puppet world, feel free to check out my latest addition to my ARCHIVES page in my web site:

Scroll down and you'll see links to some behind the scenes photos and a video clip of a Fly Muppet I did with Thomas Dolby on a Henson show back in the late '80s..... er.. that's (19)80's, just to clarify

Thomas is on tour at the moment with a new CD & DVD release, which prompted me to put this up there. I have plenty more where that came from if there's enough interest.

I have the Star Wars Lego II game on my holiday wish list, hence the picture. I think I'm going to love it. More on that later.

All the best and be safe everyone!

Oh boy - Thomas Dolby.
Not only did I love being blinded by science, but Close But No Cigar is one of my favourite albums.

You're so lucky you got to work with Jim Henson - I nearly worked as a runner for Hensons when they were based in Hampstead (during the Storyteller series), but Chris Carr who hired me fell critically ill, and John Stevenson (who took over) decided I wasn't needed after all - a great shame - so close...

Jim is one of my absolute heroes.
