CBBC tasked Chris to design and build the Two main characters for a major new Kids TV show that dealt with understanding emotions, it was called ‘Feeling Better’.
This show made over 20 episodes and was shown on CBBC and CBeebies on repeat for quite some time, and its still being used in schools as a teaching aid to help young children recognise and understand their emotions and how to deal with them.
Chris became a core player within the creation of the show, he helped with casting, the design, what the characters were and their personalities, he was on set and head of the puppet department, he was also wrangler, rigger, props maker and puppeteer assist.
These were large hand and rod puppets called Ben and Breagh, performed beautifully by internationally recognised puppeteers Clair Roy Harvey (Star Wars, Dark Crystal) and Colin Purves (Star Wars, Dark Crystal), Dr Radha was the host and specialist/core creator of the show. The series was filmed at the BBC studios in Scotland.
below is a gallery of some behind the scenes photos of the filming process.
