Some great quotes from DM...

[As Penfold falls through the air at the end of the episode]
Narrator: Will it be Isaac Newton 1: Penfold nil? Tune in next time to find out!

Narrator: London: Home of the elastic ruler, the clockwork lamppost and the inflatable knitting needle. A peaceful city, a city where, for once, there are no crimes, no adventures and no villains. Where nothing disturbs the cheery rustle of litter, the nimble dance of the pickpockets' fingers, and the soft swish of a shark's fin cutting through the tarmac. One of my better days. In fact, w--SHARK'S FIN? No, look, I was promised! They said there wouldn't be any--oh, DRAT. Not the blessed pillarbox! Not the world's greatest secret agent again! Oh really, this is too ridiculous! They said I could do poetry, I want to do poetry...!

[Dangermouse have just fallen into a deep hole]
Narrator: What's this? Will the Baron have the last laugh? Are our heroes doomed? Can they get to the bottom of this mystery before they reach the bottom? If not, will this show end early?

And tons of others, if you can be bothered to search.

You forgot Victor and Hugo.

I've never heard of it.

I loved Chorton.
The torch lad that looked like a girl was good too. Probably not so interesting these days.
