Danger Mouse
In the early 1980's a programme called Danger Mouse hit
British TV screens. It was an unusual cartoon, as it was
totally wacky and mad. So because of this and it very sharp
humour, it became a hit with the kids.
The show was produced by Cosgrove Hall Productions Ltd,
who became well known for making lots of quality
Children's TV Programmes (such as Wind-In-the Willows -
there are more, but I've forgotten them - email me the
others).
Danger Mouse had disappeared
from our screens, but
luckily Cosgrove Hall
decided that there were
enough fans of Danger Mouse
out
there, that they allowed Pearson to release
some episodes on Video and DVD.
A total of 10 series were made between 1981 - 1992, consisting of 89 episodes.
Each episode started with these words -
“He's the greatest, he's fantastic
Wherever there is danger he'll be there
He's the ace, he's amazing
He's the strongest, he's the quickest, he's the best
Danger Mouse
He's terrific, he's magnific
He's the greatest Secret Agent in the world
Danger Mouse, Powerhouse
He's the fastest, he's the greatest, he's the best
Danger Mouse
Danger Mouse
Danger Mouse”
Story
Danger Mouse (or DM as he was known to others), was a white mouse
who worked for the British Government as a secret agent/hero (well he
wasn't that secret! - you and me know about him). His immediate
boss was called Colonel K (sounds a bit James Bond to me??),
who contacted DM via a video screen, when he needed to give
him a mission - mostly to save the world! (I think Colonel K was
a Hamster - I could be wrong!). DM was followed (or is that
supposed to be aided) on his missions by his faithful sidekick
Penfold, who was a professional coward, and always seemed to
attract trouble like a magnet.
Most of the time Danger Mouse was battling against his arch rival - Baron Greenback. A Toad that
was evil to the core and was always trying to take over the World, oh and kill DM as well. But as
with all megalomaniacs, it didn't always work!
The Baron was assisted in his diabolical deeds by and Italian Crow called
Stiletto, who wore a trench coat and called the Baron - 'Baronee' (Ba-ron-
ee). Lets not forget Greenbacks pet, who sat on his desk, trying to avoid his
fists when he got angry. He looked like a white furry slug - which sounds like
the white cat used by the baddie in James Bond. All of these baddies flew
around in Baron Greenbacks machine called the Frogshead Flyer.
Lets not forget the other occasional star of the show - Count Duckula. This mad
Vampire
Duck would come and haunt DM and scare the pants off Penfold. He got so bigheaded that he
demanded and got his own TV show, but that's another story!
