In 2011 , the show premiered in the United States . on KCET ( the former Los Angeles PBS affiliate ) as a part of their programming block " Captain Infinity Theatre " later renamed KCET Kids . The series was a production between Jim Henson ' s Creature Shop and Jim Henson Television and was also the first production to be shot entirely with a Motion Control camera , meaning every motion control camera shot had to be timed and pre - recorded . The first two seasons were shot at the Creature Shop ' s own motion control studio at the Camden base , with the second two seasons shot at Millennium Studios in Elstree after the motion control camera had been acquired by them . The fully animatronic characters were built by Jim Henson ' s Creature Shop in London and were performed live by puppeteers , who also voice the characters . Uniquely this is the first time that Henson ' s advanced animatronic techniques , traditionally used on feature films , were used on a pre - school television production . This is the only live - action children ' s show shot using a motion control rig camera - a technique that allows perfection of camera moves and in - camera action , and also sits the lens inches from the floor of the set , thereby creating the correct illusion of scale for the characters . Each character cost over $ 30 , 000 to produce with new techniques having to be developed to accommodate the vast number of servos in a small area and new silicon for the tires . The series ' premiere was covered on an episode of the CITV show " Scoop " , with then relatively - unknown actress touring the set and the London Creature Shop while being followed by Flat Eric . " Construction Site " was nominated for the Live Children ' s BAFTA award two years running .
