The program captured the wit and melancholy mood, the substance and spirit, of the fantasy masterpiece.

Episodes never previously filmed, including the train trip, the Looking Glass Insects, the rowboat ride with the Sheep, and the fight of the Lion and the Unicorn, were represented. The script was almost verbatim from the book only a few minor vignettes, such as that with the Fawn in the Wood with No Name, were deleted.

The color videotape production combined human actors and puppetry with costumes and backgrounds based on the original Sir John Tenniel illustrations, and while there was some use of camera magic the focus was primarily on text and characterization. Alice Through the Looking Glass (1974) was a detailed dramatization of the second 'Alice' book which compensated for the heresies of the 1966 American television musical of the same title. A particularly literate video 'Alice' was produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation. Alice's Adventures in Videoland have been uneven in quality there has been a tendency toward parody and experimentation, and several fine productions have been broadcast. While few of these productions have successfully translated Carroll's verbal and intellectual experimentation into cinema, several are of superior quality and hold an under-appreciated place in the history of the fantastic film. Despite the widely held opinion that the material is unfilmable, Lewis Carroll's fantasy/nonsense classics Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There (1871) have frequently been dramatized for films and television.
