  • Count Duckula is a British animated television series created by British studio Cosgrove Hall. It ran from 6 September 1988 to 16 February 1993; and was produced by Thames Television for three seasons, and Central Television for the fourth and final series. In all, 65 episodes were made, each about 22 minutes long. Count Duckula is a spin-off from DangerMouse, a show in which the Count Duckula character was a recurring villain. Set in Transylvania, Duckula lives in a spooky castle known as Castle Duckula. Almost all of the characters in the show are anthropomorphized birds. As shown in the title sequence for each episode, Duckula has been active as a vampire for centuries. He can be destroyed by exposure to sunlight or by a wooden stake thrust through his heart, and has, in fact, died many time. However, he always returns through a mystic ritual, performed once a century "when the moon is in the Eighth House of Aquarius". Several episodes explore the theme that each resurrection creates a new incarnation with little to no memory of its past life; thus, every incarnation is free to develop its own personality and pursue its own personal interests. The vampire is thus able to pose as a "dreadful dynasty," the Counts of Duckula. The show is a loose parody of the story of Count Dracula. When the latest ritual was performed, Nanny accidentally substituted tomato ketchup for blood. Consequently, the current Count Duckula is not a blood-sucking vampire, but a vegetarian one.
