I have to say I always guesed it was Richard that played the shepherd.

Who played the Shepherdess though??? Louise Gold?

Richard Hunt performed the shepard in that number. And if you compare that Muppet to a picture of Richard, you might notice that they look a bit alike. I'd say that was the closest Richard came to having a Muppet that looked like him.

Yeah, the shepard was most deffenitly played by Richard Hunt. If you listen closely, some of Scooter and some of Janice breaks through in his voice.

As for the spies, they were played by a whole bunch of Muppeteers. I'd guess the whole crew of main performers. I do know that one of them, I think a pink one, was performed by Steve Whitmire. I've never seen the episode though, just the making of.

kermitage.com says that the Arab was also played or performed by Richard Hunt. Surprised that Kim didn't get that one in with her previous response.

I thought I already posted answers to this!

Arab- Steve Whitmire (NOT Jerry Nelson)

Horse- Jerry Nelson

Spies- purple (Jerry), red (Dave)

I wasn't aware that Steve did one.

The rest of Warrick's answers are correct.

I distinctly recall posting answers to this. What happened to my post?
