New Henson show for BBC – working title – “No Strings Attached”

March 3, 2012 By Puppeteers of America

Variety.com reports that “The BBC is working with the Jim Henson Co. to create a weekend U.K. TV show fronted by a new puppet who will interview celebs in a chat show-style format.  A pilot episode of the show, whose working title is “No Strings Attached,” is being prepared with the Henson Co., best known for the Muppets.  If greenlit, it will be produced inhouse by the BBC in the U.K. with puppets supplied by Henson.”

We’ll be sure to let you know more details as they become available.  But it’s good to hear that there are new things coming down the pike.  Yay puppets!
