The John Carr Jacquard Puppets

on BBC Television

View in Radio Times

John Carr, described by his wife as chief 'puppetrator' of the Jacquard Puppets, makes a special point of adapting his show to television. All the models are made by him and dressed by his wife, and manipulated by his family. Perhaps his most attractive creation is his musical trio, composed of a 'cellist, pianist, and violinist, whose movements are made to correspond accurately with the music. Of these three musicians, it is hoped that the fiddler will be seen by viewers today. Although John Carr has been interested in puppets only for about four years, he has established himself as one of the foremost authorities on the art.
