Susan Beattie is a British puppeteer who works mainly on stage and occasionally in Henson Company projects. The main show she performed on was Mopatop's Shop as various guest characters. Susan was also an additional puppeteer on Muppets Most Wanted and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I don't know what happened to Beattie between her times of Henson work. Even though she performed several characters on Mopatop's Shop, that still only counts as one show where she was main. She also did the Creature Shop film The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as one of the many puppeteers alongside other performers. Outside of Henson, Susan Beattie's puppetry was mainly seen in British stage shows, but I think she puppeteered on a Comic Relief movie in 2015. I'm not sure about this either, but I'm guessing she was also one of the puppeteers for an Animated All Star music video which was known as the BBC Children in Need. Her other puppetry work can be seen on Mongrels, Monty & Co., and Jurassic World Domination. No matter what Susan does, Mopatop's Shop will probably be her best known show. I say Beattie needs to do more puppet work with Henson and also with the Muppets as well. Also, I'd like to know what are the names of the stage shows she performed on, that way the whole world will know as well. Other puppeteers she worked with have included Mark Mander, Daisy Beattie (her sister), Damian Farrell, Lynn Robertson Bruce, and many more. Susan Beattie, you were great with Henson Company and are wonderful when it comes to performing on stage. You also assisted the main Muppet performers on Muppets Most Wanted. Keep on puppeteering and maybe when there's another Henson show filmed in the UK, it might be your chance to perform with them again. Dream on Susan. Take a bow Beattie!

Heather Quinn

Heather Quinn is a British puppeteer, cosplayer, singer, and gossiper who did many puppet characters for social media. She is also the only puppeteer who does cosplay, in other words, dresses and acts like their favorite character from a show. Heather also has a love for anything vintage, which I personally find to be unique for a person to like things from the past. Quinn hasn't done anything Muppet-related in her life, in fact she's probably never even heard of the Muppets or the Henson Company. However she has puppeteered many times for social media such as TikTok and Instagram. One of her puppets resembles an Ewok from the Star Wars franchise, which could give a clue that she's a Star Wars fan as well. In addition to puppetry, Heather Quinn has been gossiping on her website about her activities, her travels, as well as her habit of drinking tea. She's also sung all of Sondheim's Company, Into the Woods, and Sweeney Todd, as stated by her on her own website. Ther...

His most notable work with them was on Fraggle Rock as the body of Pa Gorg and various other characters on the series.

Outside of his work with the Muppets, he performed with Shari Lewis on Lamb Chop's Play-Along and The Charlie Horse Music Pizza. Apart from her, Gordon Robertson did various other shows, his most notable ones were Zoboomafoo and Groundling Marsh.

Amanda Glass

Amanda Glass is a British puppeteer and costume maker who puppeteered on season 1 of Sooty (2011) as well as part of the third season. She also puppeteered on the Sooty video Sooty: The Big Day Out as well as making many of the puppets' costumes on the series. Besides doing Sooty, Amanda was also an additional puppeteer on Mongrels for three episodes. I personally think Glass should have puppeteered on a project by either the Muppets or the Henson Company (mostly in the Creature Shop). It's currently unknown what the performer looks like since the picture above either has her on camera or under one of the puppets. On both Sooty and Mongrels, other puppeteers she performed with include Iestyn Evans, Yvonne Stone, Simon Buckley, and Toby Olie, to name a few. Maybe someday Amanda Glass will have her chance to meet one of the Muppet performers in the UK or maybe she will learn about the Henson Company online. Nobody really knows whatever happened to her after 2018 when she did seas...
