Danger Mouse

Danger Mouse

1981 - United Kingdom

Danger Mouse was a British Secret Service Agent who worked out of a post-box in London's famous Baker Street. Just like James Bond, Danger Mouse was often called on to protect Queen and country from a whole host of dastardly villains including the megalomaniac toad, Baron Greenback, a group of Mafioso like crows and Count Duckula, a vegetarian vampire who proved so popular that he was spun off into a series of his own. Dangermouse, and most of the supporting characters in the series was voiced by David Jason, whilst his sidekick, Penfold (catchphrase "Crikey!"), was veteran comedian Terry Scott. 

The series came from British cartoon experts Cosgrove Hall and was sold to over 31 countries and to the USA in 1984.

Published on December 6th, 2018. Written by Laurence Marcus for Television Heaven.
