Season 2 • Episode 49
LatestStuff is going missing all over the world, but DM is distracted by a Futuroid photo showing him and Squawk kissing. Urgh! Then Penfold is abducted by the alien Flarg.
Danger Mouse is back saving London, saving the World and, most importantly, saving Penfold in brand new and fantastically absurd, energetic adventures.

Meta jokes that wink at 80s kids without alienating new ones.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 2015 reboot arrived the same year as Spectre, deliberately positioning itself as the Bond parody Bond couldn't be anymore.
Original 1981 DM voice actor David Jason was approached but declined — Armstrong's take is technically closer to the original comics' snark.
