The Ghost Of McCastle: Count Duckula

thanks to my local PBS station, i was lucky to expeirence this british import about a vegetarian vampire duck and his house keepers. "Count Duckula", created by British studio Cosgrove Hall, is a (very)loose parody of the story of Count Dracula.
He also happens to be a spin-off from the cartoon "Danger Mouse",in which the Count Duckula character was a recurring villain. 

The show is set in Transylvania where Duckula lives in a creepOriffic traveling castle known as Castle Duckula (makes sense). he has these two idiot house keepers, one is his butler Igor, who is always trying to lure Duckula to the "darker side" and the other is his large nanny (who is just called "Nanny" and who is never seen without wearing an arm sling).  pretty much all of the characters in the show are *anthropomorphised birds. *word of the day, thnx wikipedia!
