Yonderland

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.

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!

What a wonderful show - funny, quirky, crazy, highly entertaining - a creative, thrilling joyride, a trip into a beautiful, cute, funny and even sometimes educative fantasy dimension with all these great characters keeping you on the toes all the time if and how the "villains are defeated" and "order is restored" - thank you "Debbeeeehhh" and Elf and all the wonderful others for the fabulous time, a shame that it only lasted three seasons - real quality usually never gets justice!

Recently I started watching the terrific series Ghosts. The creators/stars of that show all previously created Yonderland, so I had to check it out.

The series follows an English housewife, Debbie, who discovers she is the chosen one of a magical realm, and travels back and forth between the two worlds. The magical realm is populated by a mix of humans and puppets, and Debbie has to begin by simply figuring out what she's supposed to do.

I thought the first episode was fairly cute, but I found the second episode rather dull and certainly neither episode was close to as funny as anything in Ghosts so I decided not to watch anymore.

Cute premise, a few laughs, but not my cup of tea.
