Yonderland

I loved this show, weird concept, but great characters!

Unfortunately confirmed cancelled in February 2017

We used to wait excitedly for the next series. This was one of those shows that was mature enough to be an adult programme and yet made you feel like a kid at heart. Exaggerated costumes in a good way, fantastic script and a brilliant cast. Nothing to not love.

I bought the DVD series of Yonderland for my kids as they are avid Horrible History fans (as am I), and I have to say I have enjoyed it even more than HH. Very Monty Pythonesque in the humor, and much of it very much aimed (very subtly) at an adult audience. The cast of six play many different parts in the fantasy world of Yonderland, and the fun is in seeing the actors play around with silly voices and comic characters. The use of real puppets rather than CGI is also refreshing and really works with the style of the piece. Its a testament to the puppet makers and performers that after a while you forget they are puppets and accept them as real characters in the show. The whole family has now watched the series a number of times and we hope it is a great success and goes on for many more series. Brilliant!

The Horrible Histories team know how to make a good comedy! I loved Horrible Histories and Ghosts so decided to give Yonderland a go and I am so glad I did! Its so funny and some the jokes you should see coming a mile off but are still hilarious. Its a show that kids and adults can enjoy and I would throughly recommend it

What a treat ,I saw someone comparing it with the Dark Crystal But I feel it's more a dash of Labyrinth thrown into the mix! The characters are funny ,especially the puppets or Muppets! The Council guys look like they watched allot of Monty Python even for some strange reason a Dr. Who attitude. The lead female gives you that Alice in Wonderland goes Shirley Valentine on us ! The sets and props are definitely magical, but I wish they wouldn't roll the credits by so fast. I was trying to see the creative teams behind it all and if I recognized any of them. Great costumes , all in all a great show for kids of all ages! And I just turned 66!
