DangerMouse: He’s The Greatest!

He’s the greatest secret agent England or maybe even the World has ever known - he’s also a mouse! DangerMouse was first aired back in 1981 by Cosgrove/Hall Productions and still holds a place in the Cartoon Hall of Fame today. DangerMouse with his side-kick Penfold was a stylish cartoon, generating hundreds of merchandisable products and cult memorabilia, which still look really cool today.
 
The mouse and his straight-man hamster sidekick Penfold are given their orders from Colonel K, their main enemy being Silas Greenback and his henchman the Crow. Oh yes, by the way they also live on Baker Street ( of Sherlock Holmes fame) , under a post-box!

DangerMouse

DangerMouse

'Good Grief!' is probably the phrase I remember DangerMouse using the most, interestingly he is voiced by David Jason - Del-Boy from Only Fools and Horses!
DangerMouse wears his eye-patch for show, he's not actually blind and can see out of both eyes! He is also fluent in 34 languages and England's most secret and successful spy, he also likes to keep fit by doing yoga!

PenFold

PenFold is a very funny, side-kick and a fully well rounded character, probably as well-known as DangerMouse. Penfold's full name is Ernest Penfold and he constantly needs rescuing by DangerMouse. He refers to DangerMouse as 'Chief!' and although he is often shown to be cowardly he is one of the good guys and when push comes to shove he will do the right thing - even if he complains along the way!

Colonel K

Colonel K

According to Wikipedia Colonel K is a chinchilla, I always thought he was some sort of walrus/sea-lion because of the facial hair! Colonel K is DangerMouse's boss and most episodes start with him giving DangerMouse a mission.

Silas Greenback

Silas Greenback

Baron Silas Greenback is the main bad-guy in Danger Mouse and has a fantastic croaky/wheezy voice. Greenback is a toad, who has a white caterpillar as a pet (like the white cat in James Bond) called Nero.
