British Comedy Guide, 4th December 2019Danger Mouse must face the music when Pink Dawn (Morwenna Banks) is inspired by the new ice-themed musical Melted to melt the caps and flood the world. This is doubly irksome for our hero, as he hates musicals ("Implausible, silly nonsense"). Might it also be because he once humiliated himself at a singing contest?

British Comedy Guide, 6th December 2016The Beeb's terrific reboot returns. Earth has been invaded by self-unaware clowns who take laughter as a grave insult: as a custard-based homage to Independence Day gathers pace, Danger Mouse (Alexander Armstrong) must curb his mirth. It's a typically limber script that never lets the grown-up gags impede the kiddie fun. In particular, a line about balloons, nailed with relish by Stephen Fry as Colonel K, must have had the writers high-fiving.
