KnightswoodBear Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Anyone of a certain age get ridiculously excited when they found out that CBBC were showing new episodes? So far it's been excellent, and most of the jokes are aimed so far above kids heads. Alexander Armstrong is perfect as a replacement for David Jason and Stephen Fry is basically doing his Colonel Melchitt voice as Colonel K. The only one I'm not taken with is whoever is doing Baron Greenback as their voice isn't raspy enough. And the fantastically racist Stiletto is still there too.

KnightswoodBear Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Haven't watched it yet but it does sound bloody good. I'll be a bit seething if Greenback isnt as scary though. He's not. Played more for laughs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Ah well, as long as Stiletto is still there! Si, Barone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I'm kinda disappointed they've redrawn the characters tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Is Penfold still there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Is Penfold still there??? Aye. It's Kevin Eldon doing his voice, what with Terry Scott being a bit dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Nooka Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I was very sceptical about it but have been pleasantly surprised. Dave Lamb is perfect as the narrator too, they've done a really good job with the voice cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, that could have been a drawback, thought they might have retired the character, anyway if they bring back The Custard Mite of Glut, then I'm in!!!
