Alexander Armstrong will lend his lungs to CBBC’s new “Danger Mouse” cartoon.
Digital Spy, who reported Armstrong’s anointment as the titular hero, say Armstrong will be joined by Kevin Eldon as Danger Mouse’s assistant Penfold, Dave Lamb as narrator, Shauna MacDonald as a female Professor Squawkencluck – niece of the original Professor, with Morwenna Banks as various other roles.
Alexander Armstrong said: “As a lifelong fan of Danger Mouse I was ecstatic just to know that the show was coming back. To be actually involved with the reboot and to be taking DM out to a whole new generation is about as close to a dream job as you could wish for.”
On voicing Penfold, Kevin Eldon said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be the new voice of Danger Mouse’s trusty sidekick Penfold. It’s a role and not a mole, Penfold’s not a mole, he’s a hamster that I’m going to really enjoy. When I am recording the episodes, I’ll be making sure that at all times my eyebrows are at least three inches above my head.”
The new series airs in 2015.
