![]() ![]() Jim Howick’s minor character, the Crone, will make anyone with a sense of humour literally weep tears of laughter. For my money, the third season is the best, but season one has some stand out episodes too. Yonderland is a riot from start to finish a family show on acid, the humour is more surreal than that of Ghosts, but there are no fewer jokes packed in to every episode, and so much visual humour that you have to watch each episode twice to catch everything. Debbie Maddox (Martha Howe-Douglas) is a normal mum who happens to find a magical land in her pantry – a land peopled by an extremely colourful cast of characters (and puppets) played mostly by the other members of the gang. It ran for three seasons on Sky One, and was a critical success. Yonderland was the first project that the team worked on after they left Horrible Histories in 2013. It was quite difficult to narrow down the list – I could easily have listed half their IMDB entries here. The stars and writers of Ghosts – Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond – are all prolific on the British comedy scene, together and apart, and there is plenty of other stuff to sink your teeth into. If you’ve never come across the team behind Ghosts before, and you are looking to explore some of their work, then you’re in for a treat. The BBC’s hit comedy Ghosts has just come to the end of a successful second season, and fans are waiting eagerly for the Christmas special. ![]()
