Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

wisecracker72 *** This review contains spoilers *** If you were to describe the premise of this show, i.e. an adult-orientated animal puppet show, you could be forgiven for thinking it can't work. You would be wrong.Mongrels is, for me, one of the freshest, funniest and most original comedies that the BBC has ever produced. It's very seldom that a show will have me laughing out loud, but this one accomplishes it time and time again.The script is as sharp as a razor blade, and doesn't seem to waning as the series progresses. All too often with new comedy shows, the best gags are saved for the first episode, and then the series starts to tail off. If anything, this is getting better and better.There is a great mix of characters: Destiny, the naive and pampered Afghan who hates her owner; Nelson, the equally naive but essentially kind-hearted fox; Vince, his foul-mouthed and angry cousin; Marion, a lecherous Lothario tom cat, and my personal favourite, Kali, the street-wise, people-hating, slightly psychotic pigeon, who thinks nothing of blinding humans with acid, or even bumping them off, to serve her own ends, or to help out her friends.The voice-overs are spot on. Katy Brand, in particular, is outstanding as Kali.So far we have seen Terry Nutkins, Chris Packham, Paul Ross and Toby Anstis in cameo appearances. I suspect that many more B-list celebrities will queueing up to appear on series 2.Highly recommended. Well done BBC for being brave enough to commission the show, and I for one can't wait for series 2.

thereal_fozzy-1 OK, if your looking through Mongrels to see if its worth watching on BBCiPlayer or whenever its re-airs then I'm going to tell you go for it, its like Shameless meets the Muppet's with the characteristics of Family Guy. At first I to thought it would be one of the ghastly shows BBC 3 produce, but I was wrong and I am proud I was because I love it.Who can't love a metro-sexual fox, Nelson who's main companion is a Siberian or Russian cat called Marion, who was modelled after a shirtless picture of James Cordon. Also we are given the delightful character Destiny a diva dog who is very much the character who reflects of all the modern day brainless low self-esteemed girls who what nothing more than fame and beauty. Finally we have a paranoid cynical pigeon Kali and a Fox Vince who is crude, racist and "potty mouthed" in almost every single way.

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
