Four Feather Falls was the first puppet show to use electronic lip-synch and eye movement. The voices of Nicholas Parsons as Tex Tucker, Kenneth Connor and Denise Bryer really appeared to come from the puppets' mouths and for the record, Mike, it was first on in 1958 ;-)))) |

Hi buggs I remember Rawhide, there don't seem to be cowboy films these days, either that or I am missing them, are they no longer 'politically correct' or are they too unsophisticated ?? ;-))) |
