There were two Twizzle puppets made for filming, one for conventional shots and the second for stunt shots when Twizzle's arms and legs became longer, a trick that relied on a system of curtain rings and puppet strings pulled inside the puppets' arms and legs. Twizzle, and all the puppets for the 52 episodes, were made by Joy Laurey.
