Count Duckula | The Vegetarian Vampire Who Conquered Eighties TV!

“🎵 Count Duckula… If you’re looking for some fun, you can always count upon… 🎵” Long before animated anti-heroes became popular, there was Count Duckula – the lovable, ketchup-loving vampire duck who turned the world of horror upside down. Spinning off from the hugely successful Danger Mouse, this Cosgrove Hall classic first took flight in 1988 and quickly became one of the most memorable cartoons of the decade. Voiced by the legendary David Jason, Count Duckula was no ordinary vampire. Thanks to a botched resurrection involving tomato ketchup instead of blood, the latest incarnation of the Count was a peace-loving vegetarian with dreams of fame and fortune rather than terror and destruction. Alongside his long-suffering nanny and the cowardly Igor, Duckula embarked on bizarre adventures from his haunted castle, travelling the world with the help of a magical teleportation system.
