Default The Tweenies - How do they do that then?

Whilst spending a sunday morning watching The Tweenies on CBBC with my two year old daughter I'm struck with the 'cleverness' of the 'puppets'.

They obviously have real people inside them, who must work bloddy hard in those foam suits, but the heads are really clever - maybe its the engineer in me wondering how its done...(and to keep me sane watching this all the time) How do they see and make their lips move and get facial expressions on the big foam heads, surely it can't all be aniamatronics can it.. as it is very well sync'ed if it is.....plus theres five or six characters all interacting at the same time...thats a lot of remote controls...

Doodles (the dog) must have some one inside too...

Calling the power of scoobynet - who knows how its done?
