I’m the President of Jim Henson Television here in America, and I was also one of the many executive producers on Farscape. I’m head of TV here, but also had responsibility for Farscape for the whole of the Henson company.

Could you explain how Henson became involved with Farscape?

Actually, I sort of inherited Farscape. I have been with the company almost three years and when I arrived we were about to do the third season of Farscape. My predecessor Rod Perth, who was a huge Farscape fan, had started life as Head of Studios USA, the USA network, and had commissioned Farscape from Brian Henson when he was more involved with the company.

He then ended up coming to run Henson so he changed from being the executive that commissioned the show to then being the person responsible for it at Henson.
