After Thunderbirds and Clangers, another risky return for a beloved children's TV classic. The wham-bam scenes that kick off Danger Mouse V2.0 initially suggest a particularly inelegant reboot. But all the Hollywood overkill is in service of a gag, and soon we're back to the very British, fourth-wall-breaking silliness that defined the original. Suave Alexander Armstrong and squeaky Kevin Eldon make for a winning DM and Penfold, while Dave Lamb, the voice of Come Dine With Me, is the very hands-on narrator.

Michael Hodges, Radio Times, 28th September 2015Danger Mouse proves watching TV is good for kids!
It is official: Watching telly as a child can help you make money in later life, meet your heroes and become a more rounded human being. The first two of those statements are indisputable and I'm going to prove to you that the third is equally beyond doubt.

Sarah Deen, Metro, 28th September 2015Danger Mouse, CBBC: TV review
Absurdist sight gags, ludicrous adventures and fantastically bad puns.
Sarah Hughes, The Independent, 28th September 2015Danger Mouse review
The inherent problem in reviewing a remake (the new Danger Mouse) of a retro classic (the original Danger Mouse) is the 'Nostalgia Factor:' the knee-jerk reflex to be unfairly harsh on a recreation of a treasured childhood memory. But, in this case, I'm compelled to adhere to the ironically classic formula: the new Danger Mouse doesn't reinvigorate the original.
