Series 2 of Danger Mouse, starring the voice of Alexander Armstrong as the world's greatest secret agent himself, continues from Monday 17th December on CBBC with a musical Christmas special.
Our hero is a bit disgruntled to find that though he's saved the
world yet again, all anyone wants to talk about is the smash-hit,
ice-themed musical phenomenon Melted.
Penfold and
Squawkencluck vie to collect the most memorabilia, and even Colonel K
joins in singing the film's anthem. Danger Mouse himself hates musicals -
possibly due to an unfortunate public humiliation at a singing contest -
and can't understand what they all see in it.
But when another
huge fan, Pink Dawn, uses the film's plot to settle a few scores he soon
has to admit that Penfold is right: Melted isn't just a musical, it's
an experience. Inspired by the film's heroine, Dawn decides to melt the
North Pole and flood the world. As temperatures and water levels rise
across the globe, Danger Mouse realises the key to thwarting her plans
is to re-enact the film's finale - but with a crafty rewrite.
Luckily
he has the encyclopaedic plot knowledge of Penfold and Squawkencluck to
draw on, and the pair, delighted by the prospect of starring roles,
work in harmony to guide Danger Mouse to the big set-piece finish. With
the world watching - and listening - he must face the music. Can our
hero keep his cool, conquer his stage fright and hit the right note - or
will the decisive duet prove too hot to handle?
The episode features a host of specially written songs from composer Sanj Sen.
