Just like Jim Hansen's Eighties cult film Labyrinth, passages in Rozanne and Paul de Wild's house lead to the bizarre.

Out of place in their living room is gigantic beast Ludo, the gentle giant in Labyrinth, who'd probably look more at home in the WETA workshop.

"There's a backpack in there," Rozanne explains of what lies inside 7ft Ludo's 18kg body, so that the costume she handmade, in 2017, can sit on her shoulders and strap around her waist.
