Colleen Daley

Colleen Daley is a British actress, voice actress, and puppeteer who is best known for being the voice and animatronic operator of Fizz and Izzles on Tweenies. She hasn't worked with the Muppets in any projects, but she should have. I'd say Colleen would have made one perfect additional performer on Muppet Treasure Island or Muppets Most Wanted since both were filmed in the UK. Other projects Daley worked on have included BB3B, The Block, and more recently, Call the Midwife, the former being animated. Some of the other performers she worked with include Bob Golding, Justin Fletcher, and Sally Preisig, the former two also haven't worked with the Muppets. She should have also worked on The Furchester Hotel since it's a co-production of Sesame Street and a kids show. Colleen Daley is probably much happier doing what she does now, acting in serious adult series and movies. However, on Tweenies, it looks like the characters are operated in the same style as the Gorgs on Fraggle Rock; one person does the body and another does the face and voice. I read she puppeteered on a Playdays video, filling in for Sue Monroe as Poppy. I wonder if Colleen was ever informed about the Muppets from Sally Preisig since she assisted in The Muppets Christmas Carol. It may be Daley has never even heard of the Muppets, which was probably why she never assisted the performers in a project. I hope that someday, when the Muppets are in the UK again, she might have her chance. It might not happen just yet, but I know that someday she'll get that chance. Colleen Daley, you've done wonderful doing Fizz on Tweenies and you're still doing good as an on-screen actress today. Maybe someday, you'll run into your co-performers again and have a reunion. You never know when Tweenies will celebrate an anniversary or something. Until then, keep working Colleen. Cheerio Daley!
