Danger Mouse, an animated superhero featuring the fearless white rodent secret agent and his trusty sidekick Penfold, is due to return to children’s TV in 2015 on CBBC, two decades since it ended. 

 

The show, which was a big hit in the UK, US, Australia, France, Poland, Germany, and Sweden, was originally broadcasted from 1981 to 1992 in which fans saw Danger Mouse tackle a new mystery and enemy in each 10-minute episode. 

 

CBBC controller Cheryl Taylor said: "Danger Mouse is the last word in debonair and delightfully eccentric heroics," adding, "CBBC is thrilled to be kick-starting their adventures afresh."

 

Fremantle's Rick Glanker said: "The thrills, spills and comedy of this landmark international animated series are all still here but this rebooted version will be brought up-to-date for today's tech-savvy and content-hungry kids. 

 

 

"In this new 21st-Century version the laughs are set to be even louder as the world's smallest secret agent faces mightier missions, voracious villains and knee-trembling threats."
