I think one of the great bits of The Muppet show is that it was set in a 19th century British theater and they live so nicely amongst that lovely old theater.

The Muppet Show is very much seen as an English thing. So for us in the U.K. it is one of the treasures of the history of children's TV and of comedy basically.

I am always a great fan of keeping things on an eye level for comedy because it plays better.

Inevitably in any work you do I think that there is a sense of continuity, and I like that.

You're basically the same person forever so you find the same stuff funny forever. The Muppet Show spoke to me at 5 and it speaks to me in my late 30s in the same way.

My kids were always my test audience. I'd take home the dailies and show them what we'd been filming that day.
