Yea, so maybe another 2-3weeks and we get more new episodes. They are showing repeats for now. They are really pushing the hell out of the show. Overall, it has been a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Looking forward to the x-mas special.

Perhaps THIS was the cause of the hiatus?
The first DVD release of the series comes out on November 2nd, presumably containing all the episodes transmitted so far. And DM has proven a ratings winner Quote:

I suspect a lot of the iPlayer views have been adults (including me) watching the show when we get home from work

I picked up the DVD. It has seven episodes, including the half-hour première, and no extras. I was expecting a bit more on it, but oh well.

Looks like this hiatus is going to last a little longer, as we go right back to "Danger At C-Level" next week (they're skipping the pilot), and the show has now been moved to a 3:15 PM time slot

I saw the Christmas special this morning, and had a blast. Sqauwkencluck refusing outright to believe in Santa despite every other character aware of him and interacting with him was an odd but amusing trait. DM and Penfold constantly giving her hair dryers as gifts prompted a plot bunny for a fanfic I wrote today, poor Snowman, the nature of his character means they can keep doing utterly brutal things to him (like slayriding him through the sun), and he'll find a way to spring back from it if the weather's a bit nippy. I wonder if he can come back from this though?
I liked DM also trying to rely on the normal running time of an episode to thwart Snowman's plan, but then the narrator reminds him it's a half hour special. And we got our first glimpse of the revamped Count Duckula in a short cameo where he gets into a fight with the other villains. Alas, he didn't have a speaking part. |

Thanks for that, I didn't realise there was one. Right, off to iPlayer...!

Yeah, I found out late about it too. The special aired on BBC ONE today, but had actually premièred a week ago on the CBBC channel. I decided to wait until the BBC ONE screening to watch it just to have something extra to do this morning.

I watched it when it aired, enjoyed it very much. It didn't suffer for being 20 mins long either. Funny stuff.

Just read some details on next week's first few episodes...one of them involves a DM from a parallel universe who's evil (is he from DC's Earth 3 by any chance?)

Thursday sees Baron Greenback lose his memory, and Friday is Duckula's appearance.

I wonder if the only thing different will be a goatee... that's the stereotypical thing to do with an "evil identical twin"

"Inventor Preventor" thoughts:
Ah, struck on the head and you find what makes all time travel possible...cute BTTF reference. I wonder if the gorilla calling Kong stupid back in the past was DM when he was disguised as the dorm captain? Lots of mayhem to be had here, from the multiple copies of DM, Penfold and kong to Benjamin Franklyn going full retard. And Beelectricity! Penfold trying to sort out the resolution, and gives up at the end trying to make sense of the whole thing. |

Thoughts on "Never Say Clever Again"
Greenback's comments about the throne escalator had me rolling, as did him constantly scrambling to pick up his chocolate, it's a good thing they kept bringing up the average intellect of most of the agency because the lax security they have is shambolic. This is the second instance of Nero getting into the base now! |

"It's an alternate universe episode". Well somebody obviously reads /co/.
A shame Sinister Mouse was the least interesting thing about this episode, with the best stuff going to the Greenbacks, the adorable Danger Moth, and the lovecrafitan monster the Baron pulled into our universe ("Please don't mention this in your reviews of London") The additional mini-episode with CBBC's Hacker and Dodge was funny too. |

It's cool seeing some of the other agents. Looking forward to Duckula.
