In the 1950s, Bil Baird and Cora Eisenberg presented a great number of marionette shows for television, and were also responsible for the Lonely Goatherd sequence from the classic film "The Sound of Music". Bil Baird also wrote a classic book on his work. In Australia, a program called "Mr. Squiggle", using a marionette central character of the same name, ran for just over 40 years (1959–1999). Another program for children using puppetry was the "Magic Circle Club" featuring puppets Cassius Cuckoo and Leonardo de Funbird.
