Count Duckula (Seasons 1–4)

Count Duckula (1988) is a British animated series you can watch online on iFILM — a Cosgrove Hall spin-off from Danger Mouse, following a vampire duck brought back to life with one critical substitution: ketchup instead of blood. The result is a vegetarian count with grand ambitions and absolutely no interest in biting anyone.

Rather than terrorising villagers, Duckula chases fame — variety shows, buried treasure, ill-conceived schemes that always go sideways. His butler Igor is perpetually horrified by the lack of menace; housekeeper Nanny is a cheerful wrecking ball who means well and destroys everything. David Jason voices the Count with perfect comic timing, lending the character a mix of vanity and baffled sincerity that carries four full seasons.

The humour is distinctly British: dry, absurdist, and layered enough to land differently depending on how old you are when you watch it. Stream all episodes of Count Duckula online on iFILM.
