Puppets must go way back in time... prob to the pyramids
and they are still very much alive today
A new adult puppet show .. Newzoids starts wed 15th april

The guy who dreamed up Basil Brush paid £30 to make the fox
and it has since made him a millionaire.
The guy operating Roland Rat must be in the same league
Harry Corbet did nt do so bad out of Sooty which must have cost £2
to make back then !

    Ray Allen and Lord Charles were still performing up until just a few years ago. We saw them perform in 2008 for the Blackpool Magicians Convention where they did a more adult type act full of innuendo and smut. It was hilarious.

    Once dead you are fair game for any and all allegations. If he had been a child rapist we would have heard by now

    iM sure if you were present in one of the TV studios when EE Corrie
    Emmerdale etc are being made , you would think that the actors and actresses
    performing in front of the camera are all puppets...

    the director behind the camera ... the puppet master

    It certainly was Bernie Clifton.

    ...sadly, fell on hard times in the 80’s and had to eat the Ostrich.

    Great comedian though.

    Harry Corbett found Sooty in a Blackpool shop window, and it somehow called to him....a legend was born.

    Puppets are cool, Sweep,International Resue, Flat Eric, even the Alien Queen.

    Game over,man.
