Sue Eves

Sue Eves is a British puppeteer who is known for performing Tamba on Tikkabilla before the character was taken over by Alison McGowan. She also puppeteered on MacDonald's Farm and Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, though she was uncredited for the latter. It would appear that Sue did more children series than she did adult series. Even though Eves didn't perform with the Muppets or Henson Company, she has worked with Muppet performers in some of her projects. Performers like Damian Farrell, Mandy Travis, Lesa Gillespie, and Michael Bayliss. I saw online that in 2009, she performed a puppet character named Woofy at a conference in Winchester, which could mean something. If Sue Eves performed the dog for that appearance, than she must have did the role at other appearances, you never know. Above all, she still didn't do a single Muppet or Henson production, though Tamba appeared to be a Muppet-type puppet. Let's hope that someday she'll get to assist the main Muppet performers on a UK project, if there will ever be one that is. There's no telling what Sue is going to do next, at least I don't think. And if Eves never heard of either Muppets or Henson Company, maybe she will someday. In the meantime she should continue doing whatever it is she's doing. Plus, it's never too late for a puppeteer to assist the Muppet on a project (unless otherwise). Sue Eves, you've done so well on Tikkabilla as well as those other two shows listed above. If you are still doing puppetry, don't stop until you feel ready to. I doubt that it will happen for some time, but of course a person never knows. Until the next time you perform on a television show again, enjoy yourself Sue. You've still got talent within yourself Eves!

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...
