Danger Mouse: 25th Anniversary Complete Collection (12 Discs)
"He's the greatest...
He's fantastic...
Where ever there is danger, he'll be there...
Dangermouse, Dangermouse, Dangermouse!"
DangerMouse is without a doubt, one of the greatest Cartoons (British or otherwise) ever made. The world's greatest mouse detective, Dangermouse, together with his bumbling sidekick Penfold, embark on a series of devilishly dangerous and definitely death defying missions.
The show has been seen in more than 80 countries and DangerMouse was the first British cartoon to break into the American TV market. Broadcast on Nickelodeon in the 1980s in the late afternoons and in the early evenings as a segue into prime-time hours as the series appealed to both pre-teens and adults with its quick-witted British humour.
On Channel 4's 100 Greatest Kids' TV shows DangerMouse came third, beaten only by The Muppet Show and The Simpsons.
According to Mark Hall co-founder of production company Cosgrove Hall, the secret of the programme's success was the bizarre scenarios in which the pair found themselves, "The adults watched because of that kind of anarchy, and the kids watched it because they just loved the stories and the absolutely stupid gags."
This monolith of a boxed set, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Danger Mouse, features every episode ever made (all 161 of them) of the cult childrens TV programme, and features a host of new extras, including:
