Caroll Spinney - Sesame Street's Big Bird for 46 years - reveals the man beneath the yellow feathers. At the age of nine his mother made him a puppet theatre. She not only gave him a dream present, she also 'gave him his career'. A grateful Spinney has been enchanting young and old for nearly half a century since - 'the world's oldest child star'. First broadcast on The Today programme.
