Count Duckula the series was in fact a spin-off from Dangermouse - Duckula was a villain with whom the great DM locked horns on at least on occasion. The Duckula who had his own series, I have to say, was far inferior to that from the Dangermouse series, who was if my memory serves, a would-be thespian who only really wanted to be famous. He also turned into a cricket bat with little wings to fly about. Hence he fitted into the classic Cosgrove-Hall mould of realistic villains with human sides to their characters and their hearts in the right place. His voice was completely different too - in the duckula series it was voiced by David Jason i believe, whereas in he original it was probably Brian Hibbard or whoever. Sorry for being trainspottery and v boring. Mark S.
