The Wonderland Challenge: Alice In Wonderland

• Episode 8: Chapter 12: Alice’s Evidence

  Alice jumps to her feet, knocking over the jury box in her hurry. Hastily, she replaces all the creatures who have fallen out onto the floor. The King tells her that "Rule Forty-two" bans from court anyone more than a mile high, but Alice refuses to leave.  The King subjects the Knave to a meaningless grilling and then sums up the evidence with hilarious ineptness. The Queen announces that the Knave should be sentenced before the verdict is reached. Alice blares out, "Stuff and nonsense!" Shocked, the Queen shouts, "Off with her head!" Alice, now her full size, says, "You're nothing but a pack of cards!" Immediately, the whole pack soars into the air and rains down on her head.  Alice wakes to find herself back on the riverbank, with her older sister brushing fallen leaves off Alice's face.   Chapter 12 was wonderfully read by: Phyllis LoganMartin DelaneyHarriet WalterHenry GoodmanChristopher BigginsDavid MenkinAndrew ZadrejkoDella PhillipsPatricia HodgeStephen McCarthyBrad Shaw

• Episode 11: Chapter 11: Who stole the Tarts?

  Back on the croquet lawn, Alice and the Gryphon learn that the Knave of Hearts has been charged with stealing a plate of tarts. The bewigged King of Hearts is serving as judge in the trial, and 12 creatures make up the jury. The White Rabbit is acting as herald.  "Consider your verdict," the King tells the jury before the trial even begins. It's clear the whole proceeding will be a shambles. In the midst of the confusion, Alice realizes that she's starting to grow again. The next witness is the Duchess's Cook, who refuses to give evidence and slips away in the confusion. Alice is startled to hear her own name being called as the third witness.   Chapter 11 is wonderfully read by: Mark FernandesElizabeth jobling Rebecca CourtneyJanine Cooper-MarshallWill Harrison-WallaceJane PerryJohn ChallisRuth Jones Jo Ashe (Narrator of the year)Rosie Ashe

• Episode 8: Chapter 10: The Lobster Quadrille

  Though the Mock Turtle is crying almost too hard to talk, it manages to sob out that Alice has probably never heard of a Lobster Quadrille. When she agrees that she has not, the Mock Turtle becomes a vortex of energy. He and the Gryphon scream out instructions while "capering wildly about." With equal suddenness, they collapse and look mournfully at Alice. Then they dance solemnly around her, singing.  The dancing over, they ask Alice to recite some lessons for them. She obediently does so, getting the words wrong. Then the Mock Turtle begins to weep out a song about turtle soup. In mid-song, someone calls, "The trial is starting!" The Gryphon takes Alice's hand and rushes her away.  Chapter 10 is wonderfully read by:   Elizabeth Bloom  Ben Norris  Jared Zeus  Alexandra Metaxa  Margaret Ashley  Natalie Chisholm  Eilidh Beaton  Philip Labey  Griff Rhys Jones  Matthew Gravelle  Michael Lumsden  Cathy Smith  Julia Winwood

• Episode 5: Chapter 9: The Mock Turtle’s Story

  Alice and the Duchess (who's been reprieved from execution) stroll around the garden together until the Queen commands Alice to return to the game. When the game dissolves because the Queen has put all the players under sentence of death, the Queen takes Alice to meet the Gryphon, who introduces Alice to the Mock Turtle.  The Mock Turtle dolefully tells Alice a long, sad story about his education until the Gryphon interrupts and says, "Tell her something about the games."   Chapter 9 is wonderfully read by: Anna Bentinck Mali Harries Rory BarnettT.Anthony QuinnMalk Williams Ewan BaileyAndrew PepperMitch JenkinsChristina KowalchukArthur DarvillRichard WellsPhilip Banks Ian Pringle

• Episode 4: Chapter 8: The Queen’s Croquet-Ground

  At the garden entrance, Alice sees three gardeners painting some white roses red. Before they can finish, a royal procession begins filing in. Last to arrive are the most important: the King and Queen of Hearts and their court. All of these characters take the form of animated playing cards.  Furious at everyone and everything, the Queen of Hearts constantly orders beheadings. Fortunately, the Queen is distractible, and Alice—along with the Duchess—joins the croquet game everyone has come to play. The game is thoroughly confusing; no one is following the rules. Alice complains about this to the Cheshire Cat when its head shows up in the sky above her. The Queen orders that this head also be cut off, but the Cheshire Cat disappears before anyone can decide how to carry out the order.  Chapter 8 is wonderfully read by: Joshua ManningLaurel LefkowMark Desebrock Matthew WycliffeAngus ImrieAntonia BeamishKevin McNally Matt Beauman JonesAnnette RizzoCharlotte Sanderson Rachael BeresfordBen StockEmma StannardCharlie BruntonDuncan Smith Pearl Hewitt
