The Chosen Mum
Prismark1013 June 2020
It is the Horrible Histories meets Jim Henson's Creature Shop via some Monty Python and Wizard of Oz.

The first episode has Debbie Maddox (Martha Howe-Douglas) a bored housewife who finds an elf in her kitchen and gets transported to Yonderland.

The Elders see her as the Chosen One and she might just be it. She breaks up a silly argument in the first episode.

Fans of Horrible Histories would like this, the stars of that show appear in this and have written the series. It has zaniness and some nice sight gags.

Essentially Yonderland spoofs the fantasy genre. More aimed at kids, some of the creature effects are very good and there are some monsters who would soon be going after Debbie.

I did think Catherine Tate might have been better to feature in this show. Martha Howe-Douglas just seemed to be a little too bland.
