Farewell to Mongrels

Tonight's episode brings to a close this series of Mongrels and I'd like to take the opportunity to thank the lovely viewers that have stuck with us and posted their support on our Facebook site, Youtube, Twitter and elsewhere.

Watch "Mongrels Uncovered" here first

I love Mongrels. I love the fact that as you get carried away laughing at Vince singing a catchy song, you almost forget that the characters are essentially fluffy toys on sticks. Obviously bringing these characters to life and actually making them funny is much harder than it looks. So if you want to know more about how the series was made, you're in luck. Here's your chance to be one of the first to watch "Mongrels Uncovered" - a documentary all about the on set secrets and behind the scenes challenges. As ever you lucky blog readers are getting the chance to see it first before it's shown on telly. So settle down for the next half hour to hear from the cast and crew, puppeteers and celebrities.

The Six Commandments of Mongrels

Every show has its own set of rules. "No hugging, no learning," to quote an over-quoted example.

Mongrels - Episodes 5 and 6 review

The first three episodes may have been lacklustre and embarrassing, but the fourth, while having the juvenile, obvious humour expected, did raise some laughs. The fifth episode continued on the trend of potential being realised, actually having some genuine chuckles but the sixth took a few steps backwards, underwhelming and generally being uninteresting.

When Puppets Play Boggle

This week's is the sixth episode of Mongrels, and keen-eyed viewers will have noticed by now that it has puppets in it.

Mongrels - Episodes 3 and 4 review

The first two episodes of Mongrels were certainly not all that enjoyable. The wonderful puppetry did only so much for the trite scripts, as the stories desperately tried to remind the viewers this was a programme for older people with its forced references and eye-rolling jokes.
So what of the third and fourth episodes? Well, the third episode continues the tradition of its two predecessors, but the fourth actually shows signs of improvement.

We Are Not Mongrels

Danny Peak, one of Mongrels' writers, says...

For the three years I've been involved with this show it has been called We Are Mongrels.
