Agent 25
Agent 25 was one of the characters in the television series Kometkameratene ("The comet comrades"), which was about nine aliens who are on their way to Earth in a spaceship. Their mission was to find out what people on Earth spend their time doing.
Kometkameratene was created by the Swedish company BLA (Stockholm), in collaboration with NRK’s children’s television division NRK Super. BLA has specialised in puppet theatre for television.
BLA was responsible for the concept, script, direction and for the construction of the puppets. Petter Lennstrand from BLA was responsible for the concept and directed the production, working together with NRK Super.
In total, 48 episodes of Kometkameratene were produced between 2008 and 2011.

In each episode, two aliens were sent to Earth to investigate a human activity. They would explore the activity and communicate with humans before returning to their spaceship in order to discuss their findings with their colleagues, who would try to understand what the two emissaries had experienced.
Agent 25 was the alien who was most often sent to Earth. He was inquisitive and used humour in his communications with people, but despite his good intentions he was often misunderstood. Agent 25 was played by Linda Mahala Mathiassen.

Agent 25 is a muppet-type figure; muppets are characterised by their large mouths that can be opened and closed.
The head was made of a furry, synthetic material in a sandy colour. The eyes were small, and the puppet had an extra "spy-eye" on the top of its head that moved around. Agent 25’s hands were made of the same material as the head. The arms and legs were long, but these and the body were made of a different material than the head and hands, beige in colour and synthetic.
The above description is based on photographs.
