A while ago my partner found 3 old pieces of film(in negative form) He took one of the bits to a photo shop where it was developed. It turned out to be a photo of Rupert the bear and a moustashed male puppet in a yellow mac(i recognise him but cant remember the characters name?! Both puppets appear to be flying around in a yellow hat!!.......(no,i promise i havent taken any dodgy pills!!)
im curious to find out more and wonderd if anyone has any ideas about who to show them to etc?
cheers x x

That would be "Drizzle" (http://www.thechestnut.com/rupert/rupert-3-small.jpg)!

............... He continues on but eventually has to stop at the bottom of a small hill. There he sees a man in a yellow coat thumping the lid on a suitcase nearby.
Rupert wonders why he is dressed so and wanders over. As he gets close to the man, he hears a voice from the suitcase "Let me out" it cries. Rupert asks the man if he can help. The man introduces himself as "Drizzle" and asks Rupert to sit on the suitcase.

.... and they fly off the the castle of the Wizard of the Winds in Drizzle's hat!


.... and you can read all of the story "Rupert and the Flying Chariot" here (http://www.thechestnut.com/rupert/rupert.htm).

Theme song (http://www.jedisparadise.co.uk/childrenstv/Rupert/Rupert_The_Bear.mp3).

If the photos are of original puppets and sets, they may have some value.
They may, however, just be photos of illustrations in a book.

DRIZZLE!! thank u.....
difficult to tell what exactly the photos are-its curious though especially as they were found under the floorboards in an old house-who/where do you think i should take them to?
thanks for that cgksheff!
