​Paul and Peta Page were the professional names used by Ian and Honor, Joy Laurey's younger sister. Their partnership grew out of the Jonathan Laurey Puppet Company, in which Honor had performed alongside Joy and their mother, Dorrie.
 
In 1950, the family company received an invitation to perform in Australia. At about the same time, Joy was offered the opportunity to create a new puppet for the BBC programme Whirligig. Joy remained in Britain, while Honor and Ian travelled to Australia and continued their work together.
 
Performing as Paul and Peta Page, they developed a polished marionette act distinguished by precise manipulation and the ability to control several characters within a single routine. Their cast included a trio of cats, Jack the Sailor and a formidable duchess searching for a husband.
 
They later appeared on British television during the 1960s and 1970s, carrying the family's puppetry tradition into a new generation of programmes and audiences.
 
Their story forms an important part of the wider Laurey family history and shows that Joy's career belonged to a much broader world of shared performance, craftsmanship and invention.
