Without a doubt the best animation ever. Great jokes, fabbo plots. Far too good for kids.
And the 'Who? Ra?' sequence is more or less the funniest thing I have ever seen on TV.

I used to love Cosgrove Hall's cartoons especially Count Duckula
"Here Duckyboos"

Brill. David Jason must love working with Cosgrove Hall, he did the voice of Dangermouse as well. Just a note, Cosgrove Hall are still going, producing new Bill & Ben, Andy Pandy & Engie Benjy. These are the ones that I've spotted.
I have some of the Count Duckula on video. They must have a thing about birds. Nanny is a budgie (albeit a large one) & Igor is a eagle or vulture? Not sure which. Von Goosewing is of course a goose.
Phantom of the Opera is a good episode. Why has nanny got her arm in a sling

preferred Dangermouse to Duckula. DM is the best kid's programe ever. i bought a DVD of it recently.

Nope, sorry. Dangermouse just didn't have the finesse of Duckula.

I'm convinced Nanny is a budgie. Perhaps we'd better check this out!!

Nanny is a chicken. Final word. Duckula actually says so at one point.
And how can you prefer both? That's not preferring, that's just fence-sitting.

I like sitting on fences. You get a better view.
And Nanny is a big white chicken. I can see that clearly from the top of my fence.

Count Duckula was technically a Dangermouse spinoff, having appeared in a number of episodes as a guest villian.

It all depends on whether my application to be Director General is taken seriously or not

Well I'm guessing it's got more credibility than Mandelson's.

Anybody's application for DG of the BEEB would be better than the slimeball Mandelson's.Duckula's nanny would do a better job than him.
