To think that the new Danger Mouse is just as good as the old series?

I seem to enjoy kids cartoons more than anything else on. I think that the new DM is great. It's slicker than the old series, and just as funny. They seem to have stayed very true to the spirit of the original. My only criticism would be that it could do with a few more female characters, but that's a bit nit picky, because I have seen about 3. I enjoy the theme tune very much.

It's not bad is it?! Better than bloody Scooby Doo which seems to have to have a romance-theme attached to every episode - Scooby getting upset because Shaggy is spending too much time with Velma. Wtaf is the need??

Yanbu. They've done a good job and not fiddled around with it.

It's great, I look forward to 6pm every week day now!

Penfold was always my favourite anyway.

I didn't know that they'd made new scooby doo. I never was very keen on it any way. I hope that they remake Duckula in a similar way.

Great! I have it on Series Record so we can watch it whenever we need a short programme. I was a bit worried it would be crap Smile

Oooooh Duckula. I have recently got my son into Trap Door, they still do the toys (on eBay). Burke, feeeeed meee!!!

They've been making scooby do in so many incarnations though anyone remember the terrible ones with 'Scrappy Doo' in the mid eighties? Ergh

We also think it's fab, though DS is annoyed that the opening isn't the same as the old one (damn photographic memory kid!)

I think they've done a grand job, though I do miss David Jason's voice

I used to love the trap door Bluewombler! :) Not sure if they could recapture the strangeness for a reboot of that one.

Yes, we miss David Jason's voice too. I'm hoping that he might do a cameo.

DM is fab :) The DDs (ahem, me) love it. Has anyone seen the episode with the weird plant that grows huge & then speaks Welsh?? Oh & it also has killer bees getting stuck in jam :)

I missed out watching it as a child, I'm enjoying making up for it now!
