Danger Mouse

Danger Mouse is a British children's animated television series which was produced by Cosgrove Hall Films for Thames Television. It features the eponymous Danger Mouse, an English mouse who works as a secret agent. The show is loose parody of British spy fiction, particularly James Bond and the Danger Man series starring Patrick McGoohan. The show originally ran in the United Kingdom from September 28, 1981 to March 19, 1992.

The hero wears an eyepatch and his chest is prominently amblazoned with the initials DM. This causes problems for those translating the series into other languages, where a literal translation of words 'Danger' and 'Mouse' do not have initials.

The show features the voices of David Jason as Danger Mouse. Terry Scott as Ernest Penfold the mole and Danger Mouse's reluctant assistant. Edward Kelsey as both Colonel K the walrus and Danger Mouse's boss and Baron Silas Greenback the evil toad with a wheezy voice. He has a fluffy white caterpillar named Nero who lost the power when he was drenched in the water. And Brian Trueman as Stiletto Mafiosa, Greenback's crow henchman, who spoke with an Italian accent and always calls Greenback, "Barone,"and "Baron" for Italian.
