Danger Mouse is to be brought out of his 23 year retirement for a new high-tech series to air on CBBC next year.
The original Cosgrove Hall Films production, about a mouse working for the secret service and his bespectacled hamster assistant Penfold, ran between 1981 and 1992, shown on CITV in the UK and also proving a hit on Nickelodeon in the US.
The cartoon's original co-creator - Brian Cosgrove said he was "delighted" by the news.
"When I helped to create Danger Mouse I had no idea the show would be such a huge success both in the UK and overseas," he said.
"I am delighted that a whole new generation will be introduced to his daring deeds and thrilled to be part of this new 21st century series."
