fast in real life, the limitations of the puppet ( - or rather, puppets, the character being played by two glove puppets - one for each end) mean that she is often seen on screen struggling to move slowly across floors on all fours (moving fast running the risk of the operator's hand being seen), yet can move perfectly well when not on all fours (usually either under the floorboards, next to a surface such as a table or in her airing cupboard).
