Re: Animatronic Puppets
'Tetley' is a work in progress, Roger. I have used it for a couple of 'meet and greets' that I did for free, and it goes down a treat - this is the main reason I bought it. I can't imagine using it in a birthday party show - a whole different approach would be needed, and another (big!) suitcase. We...

Re: Animatronic Puppets
Roger, apparently the 'highlight' of Louis that went out on TV had been edited to such an extent that it included footage of the judges that was taken from comments made during another act(s). The fact that they hack things around just for cheap laughs at the expense of the performer just shouldn't ...

Re: Animatronic Puppets
Roger, Louis has far from destroyed anything, despite being manipulated by the backstage staff prior to his appearance and his spot being deftly and deceptively edited for when the programme went out on air. Nor is he a 'dreadful performer'. Knee jerk reactions don't become you, Roger, you are norma...

I think another problem for the younger guys is that they have school during the week so aren't able to go any way, until the weekend.
That was my problem (well one of them!), as a child, and it wasn't until I was in employment that I could then take the necessary holidays.
