Danger Mouse is a British animated television series which was produced by Cosgrove Hall Films for Thames Television. It features the eponymous Danger Mouse, an English mouse who works as a superhero/secret agent. The show is a loose parody of British spy fiction, particularly James Bond and the Danger Man series starring Patrick McGoohan. The show originally ran in the United Kingdom from 28 September 1981 to March 19, 1992. In the English-language version, the titular hero was voiced by David Jason. The hero wears an eyepatch and his chest is prominently emblazoned with the initials 'DM'.... This causes problems for those translating the series into other languages, where a literal translation of the words 'Danger' and 'Mouse' do not have those initials; the Scots Gaelic version, for example, calls the series Donnie Murdo . The Slovene translation omitted the DM initials entirely, however, dubbing Danger Mouse Hrabri mišek . In French, trying to keep with the initials, the mouse was named Dare Dare Motus, "Dare Dare" being French slang for "as fast as possible".
