Place reservation for Zippy and me : my life inside Britain's most infamous puppetOver the course of almost half a century, puppeteer Ronnie Le Drew has worked with the greats - from David Bowie in 'Labyrinth' to Michael Caine in 'A Muppet Christmas Carol.' But the role that defined his career was 'Rainbow's' Zippy, who he operated for more than twenty years. 'Zippy and Me' is the first time a Rainbow insider has told the true story of what went on under the counter and inside the suits: the petty squabbles between performers, wrangling with TV executives, and scandals such as the 'love triangle' between musicians Rod, Jane and Freddy. Not to mention the now infamous X-rated episode shot for an ITV Christmas party, which subsequently found its way to the Sun.
