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 last episode of Mongrels is on tonight at 10.30pm. Mongrels Uncovered will be on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Three at 2.15am tomorrow morning and at 9.30pm on Friday. You can also read a farewell to Mongrels on the Comedy blog from the director Adam Miller.

Please let there be many more!!! I must say that Ö÷²¥´óÐã Three is always on in our house, despite the fact that I pay for sattelite tv. This is the first year that I have been genuinely happy to pay my license fee, our family are really getting our moneys worth out of the Ö÷²¥´óÐã - thank you!!!

The funniest thing about this programme is when you hear a joke that is very near the mark of any kind of good taste and you think "I cant believe I have just heard that" but I laugh and I love it! All the characters are brought to life brillantly, which is down to the excellent work of the puppeteers. I have ordered the DVD and will spread the word about this excellent programme and I really hope that a further series is commissioned. Well done to all involved in making this wonderful, funny series, it definately bought a smile to my face!

I think that the brilliance arises from not expecting puppets to be cutting close to the bone, but it works very, very well; excellent puppeteering, fantastic voices, and the celebrity appearances are welcome too. You can get away with absolute murder just because it's being portrayed by puppets.
This series alone makes it worth the license fee! Hell, I even recovered my Ö÷²¥´óÐãID password just to post this comemnt. More please!

I think it's extremely clever and highly amusing. I know it's just puppets, but the characters are so well-formed. Wonderful!

I was watching the mighty boosh I think and then when it finished Mongrels came on and I thought well it looks quite good. Well it's brilliant!! such great qoutes (mostly from Vince, Nelson and Marion).My friends don't watch Ö÷²¥´óÐã Three a lot and I think the only comedy they watch is glee. The only time I can use the qoutes though is when me and my friends start doing random impressions (which strangely happens a lot). My fave characters are
1. Nelson- because he is so posh, sweet, funny and camp! xx he shouldn't fancy Destiny he is way to good for her!
2. Vince- because he reminds me of my two boy mates Jamie and Shaun (both nutters!) Vince is so in your face, funny and Tough!
3. Marion- because of that accent! he is so funny! and so loveably stupid
4. Kali- because she is so evil and gangster, she's a mix between Phoebe off friends and a chav!
5. Keiran the runt- I love him! so adorable and when he died I'm not ashamed to admit that i teared up slightly! xx
I am defo ordering the dvd and I bought a kasabian t-shirt because it reminds me of the scene in episode 4 when the animals of courage swagger across the park. Underdog by Kasabian is playing in that terrific scene so everytime I wear it I will think of Vince's amazing swagger!!!! xxx
