combo of puppets and live action kids. an 80's show (pretty sure it wasn't 90's). Seen in Australia, might have been either british or NZ in origin. A kid kicks a soccer ball into a hedge, when he goes after it he finds that the ball has gone into a secret subterranean cave complex that is inhabited by puppets. The puppets capture the kid and put him in a cage, there are some sympathetic puppets that try and help the kid escape but he always ends up going back due to a moral decision that he has to make for his new puppet friends and ends up back in the cage by choice so that no one will get in trouble. I'm pretty sure there was a split storyline of his friend above ground trying to get him home, the friend may have at some point made his way into the cave complex and snuck around without the bad puppuets detecting him.
