Over the next ten years, the show was loved by children across the Arab world, until 1990, when the show was pulled off the air as a result of the Gulf War. But Ammar Al Sabban, a young boy growing up watching the show in Jeddah, never forgot the impact his favourite characters had on him. In this episode, a little boy’s dream to become his favourite Muppet, and the making of a show that revolutionised children’s television. Produced by Hebah Fisher and Alex Atack, with help from Alexandra Chaves, and with editorial support from Dana Ballout. Sound design by Mohamed Khreizat. Thank you to everybody who sent us their memories of Iftah Ya Simsim: Bader Alfarsy, Ltein Alfarsy, Lilian Yasser, Sallah Al Yasser, Rym Ghaza
