So who started all this madness then?
|
|
Jo Taylor directed The Sorcerer and the idea for Neville was first
aired the evening she got the job. Sitting in the beer garden of Hardy's
Well (a pub in Rusholme, Manchester) she was discussing her ideas for
technical stuff in the upcoming production with a collection of MUGSS
people.

And who carried it on?
|
|
And muggins here had been talking about an item on Tomorrows World concerning
Jim Henson's Creature Shop's contibution to the current production of Dr
Doolittle. I'd commented that I'd love to work for Hensons, and be involved
in the production of animatronics for films and shows.
So Jo suggested that I could make her an animatronic sheep for The Sorcerer.
Since I'd had a few beers by then I said yes, and spent the summer thinking
of ideas for the creation of Neville.
