Dangermouse Vol.2:
Dangermouse Saves The World...Again!

Distributed by
PT Video


He's the greatest. He's fantastic. He's Dangermouse!

The cult of kids TV arriving on DVD continues with a series I regularly watched and enjoyed before I hit double figures and which, as featured on one of the I Love the 80s programmes, was admitted it was easy on the animators because many of the scenes that featured in every episode, such as DM driving from his secret hideout, were copied across each time.

For this second volume, another six episodes are included, each lasting around 20 minutes and for the original broadcasts, each one was aired in four parts (oh, how the continuing storyline would get me through yet another unbelievably shitty week at school from Monday to Thursday; and who cared about Friday afternoons because the weekend was here!)

Composing myself, the six episodes are: The Invasion of Colonel K, in which he is invaded by Greenback and DM is sacked from the Secret Service - how will the world cope?; Dangermouse Saves the World...Again!, the title track, which finds DM conquering the Brain Drain; The Oddball Run-a-Round, where the pair have paradox problems getting to the Secret Rugby Ball in London; the Baron gets out his homing device in The Wild, Wild Goose Chase; then he teams up with DM's feathered-freak foe for The Return of Count Duckula and, finally, are our heroes doomed in Demons Aren't Dull ?

Baron Silas Greenback realised it doesn't pay to advertise.


Like the first disc, it's in 4:3 fullscreen and the print has some print scratches but nothing you don't expect and it certainly doesn't put you off for those who were big fans. The sound is in mono which comes across clearly enough.

In the extras dept. there's Cast Biographies for the cartoon characters and not the voices behind them, plus a hidden clip of DM doing his Tarzan call when trapped in an unfortunate position.

The disc has no subtitles but a neat animated menu with the classic theme tune. If I had one complaint with the DVD it's that there's just one chapter per episode rather than breaking them down into individual parts.

Don't worry about the overall score. With a disc like this, the price and content score are all you should concern yourself with.
