Ooh, I didn't know that!  How exciting!  Not only is Sinister lovely and
full of beautiful sparkly people, it is also highly informative.
Gosh, and I thought I'd seen all the Dangermouse there was to be seen...I've
even got a video of some of the episodes still.  Classy stuff.

Duckula as a series wasn't as good as Dangermouse either.  It was always
limited rather by the vampire thing, whereas The Chief Rodent himself had
that superhero thing going on, and so could go off into outer space and
battle with aliens for an episode, then return to foil the evil plans of
Greenback and his dim henchman Stiletto in the next.

I've got a soft spot for Penfold, personally.  The poor wee thing that he
is.

            Au revoir,
                         Liz.
