Danger Mouse (1981–1992)
Brings Back To Fond Memories Of Childhood, When I Used To Wait For The Show On Telly!
17 October 2011
The pint-sized Secret Agent Danger Mouse and his wisecracking sidekick Penfold are thrown into mission after mission by the absent-minded Colonel K., where they either battle the dangerous Baron Greenback and his right-arm man Stiletto, or face the maniacal Doctor Augustus P. Crumhorn III, or some other out-worldly threat! D.M. as I fondly refer to him has an arsenal of hi-tech gadgets and an super-fast vehicle that can fly as well as drive over land.

The script for the series was excellent, the action and comedy mixing superbly. Penfold and D.M's one-liners are legendary. We always have those at the end of the cartoon after he completes his mission and talks to Colonel K. about it.

Verdict: Very good for children and general family viewing. I here the complete collection is available to buy on DVD. So what are you waiting for?

Some Memorable Episodes:

Season 9, Episode 1, I Spy with My Little Eye: Greenback is smuggling sunlamps to the Eskimos to melt the polar icecaps flood the world. Unfortunately, Dangermouse and Penfold lose the Mark 3 and soon get lost on the North pole.

Season 10, Episode 1, Crumhorn Strikes Back!: DM and Penfold are taking a holiday in New York provided by the nice folks at the FBI. Doctor Augustus P.
