Famous glove puppet set for television comeback.

I opened todays paper to see that one of the most famous gloves puppets is set to make a comeback. Toby Hull, will bring the wayward bird, Emu back to life in a 26-part comedy series, called Emu, to be shown on children's channel CITV next year. Toby is the son of the late Rod Hull created Emu.

'Emu was a TV favourite in the 1970s and '80s, achieving notoriety for attacking host Michael Parkinson while appearing on his chat show. Read more about the puppets comeback on the BBC News site.

Its funny, after buying so many puppets to add to Chelltune I have a sudden interest in them. It was lovely to walk into my sons reception class yesterday to see a little girl of four or five years old preforming a show using the class puppet theatre. Puppets will be making an appearance in my own children's Christmas stocking.
