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
I loved this show, weird concept, but great characters!
Unfortunately confirmed cancelled in February 2017

It takes a lot of work to create a good series. The cast is great, but the show is bogged down by several things that Horrible Histories mostly avoided. The first issue is the lack of development of characters. No one changes, no one learns. After watching 12 episodes, very little has happened. I've learned nothing, nor have the characters in the show. The second issue is that Debbie is supposedly super smart and all the male characters are stupid. This makes Debbie quite 1 dimensional (compare to her husband who is just plain stupid and constantly subservient as one example). She comes across as condescending (as another reviewer pointed out). It's a shame because she was far more diverse in Horrible Histories - breaking "modern gender stereotypes" that, surprisingly, this show suffers greatly from (summary: woman perfect, smart: men stupid. Same stereotype for the last 20 years). The show could also benefit from dropping the naked gags (or at least evolving them). One of the few gags that really hit the spot was the references to celebrities in the Sherlock Holmes style episode. The who-dun-nit was the best laugh I'd had in the series. Puppeteering and sets are diverse and look good. Needs to drop the stereotypes/sexism and be a little less condescending and a little more risk taking. If the writers aren't careful, Political Correctness will kill the series, as will the lack of a story arc.
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.
