"The Muppet Show" "Season 5" LAST STUDIO DAY Elstree 1980
Loading...
Uploaded by PrioryOrchard on Dec 21, 2011
A behind the scenes glimpse of the Muppet Show on it's last day of recording at the Elstree Television Studios in 1980 on which I was privileged to work as a Cameraman.
Featured is Jim Henson and Frank Oz who were the main inspiration and creative forces behind the show.
Narrated by Peter Harris, one of the two directors on the show ... it mostly reveals crew and cast having a very silly day as everyone said their final farewells. Richard Holloway (now Executive Producer on "The X Factor") had been the Senior Floor Manager for the duration and it was probably inevitable that he became the victim of the flan flingers ... he took it in great spirits.
This last day in Studio D was the culmination of 5 years work, fun and laughter on what was arguably the most successful Children's Programme in the world at the time, having been sold to some 110 countries ... it was the end of an era for many and the Muppets have gone on to become truly iconic.
Enjoy

P.S. A younger version of me make very brief appearances at 3.16 & 4.26.

It's called Another Opening, Another Show By Cole Porter in 1948 and was used as the opening number for the Mac Davis episode.

Great footage. I worked with Jim and Frank when the Muppets guested on the Bob Hope specials in the 70s and 80s. I was a writer and always enjoyed the gang... an era long ago and getting further and further away... Bob Mills TheLaughMakers@GMail.com
