Pinewood Studios, London, Sunday Evening
Robin was trying really hard to be cooperative and professional here, but he was also really REALLY excited. London! He was in London! And getting fitted for a costume in a big...well, medium sized movie! The costume lady was Hilda, who had worked with Kermit years ago on the Muppet Show.
"Now," Hilda said, once she finally got him into his costume, "Let's see you walk a bit with the crutch."
This was going to be one of the tricky bits. He was still figuring out just what he should do there. Just what was wrong with Tiny Tim? He wasn't lame per se, as far as Robin could tell, he just had very weak legs. In the book he had leg braces like Forrest Gump, and probably used the crutch more as a balance aid.
But he didn't have braces here so was one leg actually lame?
He had a few days to kill in England before they shot his scenes, so he fired off a quick text to his friends, inviting them to come sightsee with him.
[If you think you got a text, you did.]
