It was my favourite TV show when I was about 13 and was really excited to see BBC was repeating it in around 2005, partly because I couldn't believe I had such good taste aged 13! But it was better than I remember! Unfortunately it was taken off air mid-run, I read somewhere that it was because parents complained it frightened their children!! although there is nothing scary about it! It is the super sweet tale of monsters working in a café, with a strong leaning to fair play, compassion and a whole lotta love! the 3 heroes of the show, Igor, Frankie and Mummy ALWAYS win over the show's bully, their boss Baroness DeMonstro. Quite manic, but genuinely good comedy! It's wonderful and pure escapism!
