Aliex Yuill

Aliex Yuill is a British puppeteer, director, and producer who is well known for performing Jelly on The Story Makers and The Green Balloon Club. She was paired with Nick Mercer (who did Jackson) on the former and the pair also appeared together on a special episode of The Weakest Link. Other than doing puppetry, Aliex has also directed on-location segments for Tikkabilla and Fimbles. I've read Yuill also served as video tape producer/director for The Mysti Show and served as one of the directors on Hotch Potch House. Technically she has worked with Muppet performers on Hotch Potch, only she didn't do puppetry with them on that show. Other than Mercer, some of the puppeteers she directed are Victoria Willing, Nigel Plaskitt, Rebecca Nagan, and Francis Wright, to name a few. Even though Aliex Yuill didn't work with the Muppets, she still got to work with several of them on Hotch Potch House. If only she had a proper image of herself, then people will know what she looked like and what other puppets she did other than Jelly. Nobody knows what happened to her after 2008, when she performed Jelly on The Green Balloon Club. I just hope Aliex is still remembering how much fun it was directing & being Jelly on The Story Makers and other appearances. Maybe Yuill is still in touch with Nick Mercer since they were paired together in all of Jelly and Jackson's appearances. There seems to be many puppeteers that work on CBeebies, there just aren't enough self pictures of them on that wiki. As long as she's still healthy today, that's all that matters. Aliex Yuill, despite only doing one character, that's still considered a puppet you're best known for. I hope you'll reveal to people what you're doing currently, many people like you have disappeared a specific year and not revealed what they've been doing too. So come out of hiding and go back into the world of television, if you want to. Fantastic work Aliex. TTFN Yuill!

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.

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...
