Lines: 34 Keywords: By gum, 'e's a bad'un! While eating lunch today and contemplating the sociopolitical climate of the world, I suddenly realized that last night's Dangermouse episode reflects a dangerous change in Dangermouse's political affiliations. In last night's episode, "Journey to the Earth's `Cor!'," Dangermouse sets out to eliminate the "terrible racket" which is giving the PM a headache. He finds a hole in the ground, and flying into it, discovers a small society powered by the Sun at the Center of the Earth*. Eventually he ends the racket... but, and this is most important, he promises not to reveal to the people "upstairs" the existence of this subterranean society. Now, just think a minute... Dangermouse is the ``World's'' greatest secret agent. Everybody knows it is the responsibility of all agents to reveal to their country the existence of significant political situations they encounter. Furthermore, this society was an UNDERGROUND, i.e., subversive, society! Yet Dangermouse went so far as to suggest to Colonel "K"** that Penfold was ``barmy'' for mentioning such a place. Clearly, one can only conclude that Dangermouse is no longer to be trusted. ------------- * cf.
