Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

jock clock Well, it seems people who are bright enough to appreciate talent and good humour lost another battle. It seems we have to always obey either to posh comedy shows for the dull intellectual who gets offended by everything or the ones for the stupid and ignorant where every 3 seconds there's a fart. Great humour, nice character blending and dialogue. Anyhow, congratulations to the whole Mongrels team. They put up a brilliant show. Thank you. Is a shame it didn't continue for another season. Great respect for BBC but they were wrong this time. There has to be something to balance out the massive amount of television junk with high rating but little creative and logistical effort.

jamesmduff The first time I watched Mongrels I was instantly captivated. I always loved the muppets and other "puppet" TV shows when I was younger, and during my 20's I missed that feeling of inanimate objects projecting an unreal world that is so close to our own in feeling and depth.I have rarely laughed so much before watching Mongrels, with it's on-the-edge sarcasm and casual use of inappropriate language and scenarios, which most older people might find offensive.The fact is, the creators and animators and writers have found a pleasant and modern blend of comedy, puppetry and life dilemmas which make this show so addictive. If they don't commision another season then I will be devastated.This show holds no bars, and is not for the faint hearted but it has certainly given me many, many laughs in it's first season.Thank you to all who were involved in it's making :-)

ZenShark I just stumbled across this little gem on the BBC iplayer, and boy was I glad I did. I've been a huge fan of things like The mighty boosh, IT crowd, Dark place, and of course, monty python. This show is a definitely part of the same legacy.The puppets are excellent and full of personality. They are so well controlled, you'd think they really were alive. The writing on this show is really exceptional. Its rare for me these days to look at something and say 'i cant believe they really did (or said) that!', but this show manages to get me every episode. There are some scenes in there which are so well scripted and timed, its simply genius.The show certainly pushes the limits of good taste, but it does so in a good way. It wont be for everyone (prudes), but if you like humor, and are looking for something fresh, then you HAVE to see mongrels.

kennyliza I can only recommend this thoroughly! Difficult to pick my favourite aspect of it. Perhaps it's the "nasty" edge to the humour (Basil Brush as a Holocaust denier, for example). Perhaps it's the minor celebrity cameos (Clive Anderson petting a puppet). Perhaps it's "Vince" - he's now shorthand for all manner of expletives in our house (as in "Vincing hell, what a Vince") Perhaps it's the sexual misuse of the puppets (If you go down to the woods today, you're sure of a BIG surprise!) Perhaps it's the songs. Marion and Lollipop's love duet decrying the stupidity of having to wait a day for Lollipop's fourth birthday before they can "do it", was a particular favourite. Perhaps it's just all the above, wrapped up together. Anyway, thoroughly recommended, I give it 10.K
