Hi all. I've been at my Nan's the past week and was only able to keep up with what was going on on this website via my mobile phone as I didn't want to take my laptop for fear of getting it nicked. BUT, I did take all three series of Count Duckula with me because for some reason I always like watching them around at her's.
Anyway, when I was watching Hardluck Hotel, I suddenly realised something. Why does Duckula refuse to go onstage as the Great Duckeroni until he is bullied into it? Normally he'd jump at the chance to perform! I find that pretty ironic.
Also, regarding the episode Hi-Duck; I find it pretty funny that Ruby Wax played a stewardess with whom Gaston flirted but Duckula did not and that Jimmy Hibbert played the stewardess with whom Duckula was smitten but whom Gaston and Pierre threatened with the water-gun! Hehehe, I bet that was fun to play at the time!
Has anyone spotted any other ironic moments in the show?

As to the first one, I took it that he just didn't want Nanny and Igor to recognize him. Haven't seen the episode in a while, but I remember that's the assumption I was under. Didn't he spend practically half the episode avoiding them? LOL And as for the second, I frankly find it funny any time a guy plays a girl voice. And yes, I find Nanny hilarious because of this.

No, he didn't realise it was Nanny and Igor he was serving. Sure, he thought they sounded familiar but he never actually saw their faces, so didn't realise it was actually them.

There is no more irony than what happened to Goosewing at the ending of 'The Incredible Shrinking Duck'

in Rent a Butler duckula use a mirror He also had that interview in Prince Duckula in which he apparently showed up on camera. But they had already established earlier in the series that he "doesn't photograph well."

Normally he'd jump at the chance to perform! I find that pretty ironic. I know! I never got that either! It's more than possible he already knew his tail-feathers were on the line if he messed-up, and so he decided to put aside his ego and pride this time, and tried to talk the manager out of it by convincing him what he knew was the likely truth.

It's probable his confidence had been shattered after all the abuse he'd taken in that episode. Plus With Igor and Nanny apparently not there, he had no-one to show off to. As for using a mirror in 'Rent A Butler', he was applying make-up, so that would show up in a mirror as it did in 'Prime Tome Duck' Anyone else spot Woody Allen in 'Manhattan Duck'?
