Danger Mouse

This cartoon was like Monty Python meets James Bond. It was about a heroic mouse named Danger Mouse who was the best secret agent and he had an inept and cowardly sidekick, a hampster named Ernest Penfold who was like a cross between Stan Laurel and Peter Lorre. Together Danger Mouse and Penfold went on vivid and wildly hilarious adventures and had to save the world from a mafia-like syndicate presided by the villainous Silas Greenback.

Besides Garfield and Friends this was another one of my favorite cartoons from my childhood! It wouldn't hurt to bring it back to television with reruns! Danger Mouse had something in it for both kids and adults alike. And Danger Mouse is way better than all those cartoons they have out nowadays that have kids who 'save the world' with the help from their pocket/digital monsters. And on top of it all, it's non-violent!

So, if you're missing Danger Mouse, just order some video tapes of it! Check out your local video store one of these days! Danger Mouse was a true classic cartoon. Animated British humor which will leave you in stitches!

I miss this show so much! It was really funny and creative, and I couldn't wait for it to come on everyday when it aired on Nickelodeon back in the 80's. Danger Mouse, and his sidekick Penfold (who is a hamster) would always foil the evil Silas Greenback's evil plans, and have a little humor in it as well. Even though this was a kids show, adults could enjoy it as well.

This was a really cool show. I wish Nickelodeon would air it again. But knowing them, that won't ever happen again (sniffle, sniffle). Nickelodeon has really gone downhill with crap like Spongebob, and Fairly Oddparents and it's a shame since kids won't be able to see cartoons that can be funny without being gross like this show.

This cartoon rules!

I was an avid watcher of DangerMouse throughout my teens when it was the best part of my regular babysitting gig.

In fact that's why I KNOW it was wasted on kids - I thought it much funnier than they did.

Great scripts and great voices all round but I have noticed that no-one has commented much about the narrator (who I had not realized was also David Jason).

I remember his comments at the end of the episodes were especially a hoot.

10/10

'Danger Mouse' cashed in on the heights of 'Danger Man' and the Bond films to create a mouse superhero (voiced by the versatile David Jason).

In a tale of good versus evil (the usual cartoon simplistic stuff), Danger Mouse and his hamster sidekick Penfold (voiced by the much missed Terry Scott) battled against the wonderfully named Silas Greenback (voiced by Edward Kelsey). Danger Mouse was a master of derring-do and wore an eyepatch! Written by comic Mike Harding and kids' TV regular Brian Trueman (who presented Screen Test amongst other things) it was funny, clever, and hugely enjoyable for all age groups.

Another great show from my younger days, Danger Mouse used to pop up on Nickelodeon. I first saw Count Duckula before also stumbling onto this cartoon. Secret Agent Danger Mouse, looking heroic with his DM emblem and tough with his eyepatch, lived in a red mailbox on a street corner in London. His sidekick, the lovable but cowardly Penfold, was a blue suit wearing mole who would run behind Danger Mouse screaming "Oh, eck!". Colonel K, who I think was an old beaver or something, would call in and send Danger Mouse on all his dangerous missions to thwart the evil Baron Silas Greenback, a large frog petting a fuzzy caterpillar. DM would also drive around in his own super secret agent car, escape from snapping alligators and always saved the day. I also remember a lot of bombs exploding and that great theme song.
