GAME FOR A GIGGLE?
Ghosts iPLAYER
A laugh-filled series from the Horrible Histories gang set in a very haunted house. Mathew Baynton and Jim Howick play a ghostly artist and a scout master, two of a group of spirits who have yet to fully come to terms with their own pasts — let alone the new tenants in their home. One series.
The Goes Wrong Show iPLAYER
This series of doomed one-off plays from Mischief Theatre is packed with precisely executed slapstick, and works on several different levels depending on the age of the viewer. One series.
Yonderland NOWTV/SKY
Sky’s silly and funny comedy, from the stars of Horrible Histories, follows a bored mum into a fantastical land filled with puppets in need of mothering. Three series.
Fraggle Rock AMAZON PRIME
Jim Henson’s musical puppet series is still good, from the antics of the eager Fraggles to the frustrated plans of the industrious Doozers and the brainless plots of the sinister Gorgs. Four series.
Mr Bean AMAZON PRIME
Rowan Atkinson’s hapless Bean is an adult who constantly gets things wrong, and has a surprising level of attachment to his teddy bear. These two facts should endear him to young audiences. 14 episodes.
The Simpsons DISNEY+
For the first time in the UK, every episode featuring Bart (right) and co — more than 600 — is available on demand in one place. It’s become a cliche to say the show is past its best, but the first ten series feature some of the sharpest family comedy ever produced. 30 series
