A lovely, fun and heart warming puppet-adventure starring the fuzzy and cheeky Platypus and his favorite teacher miss English.

I would definitely recommend this show to childrens families and also to childish adults! Fun songs to sing along to and lots of unexpected surprises. Miss English sings like a dream!

Punch and Judy make a special appearance tooo!

What a lovely show. My 2 year old absolutely loved it. She came out and said 'wow that was my favorite'. The songs are catchy, the story is simple and interactive and the two cast members have lovely voices. Overall a great little show!

Miss English's Holiday is a delight. It's full of skilled puppetry and fantastic singing with catchy tunes. My kids absolutely loved Platypus and even had a picture taken with Miss English and Platypus at the end of the show.

A thoroughly enjoyable and interactive show. Perfect for kids, its very entertaining for them and also adults. I found myself laughing along too!

I watched this show the other day and have still been finding myself singing the platypus song. I'm sure I'll also be singing it for the rest of the week!

Miss English's voice is amazing and Platypus is the perfect companion, definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed this show! The singing was amazing, the puppets were funny and the theme was educational but very entertaining at the same time. Miss English was particularly good at getting the children involved! Recommend!

We saw this show today my two girls aged 2 and 4 loved it. Plenty to keep them engaged and they loved platypus and all the other puppets and animals. They also enjoyed joining in and shouting out the answers. My two year olds review was a simple' that was fun dad'.

a charming, gently educational show for younger children that more than pleased the adults in the audience as well.
