Like many people, I remember these stories from my childhood - a comic chaos of cartoon characters flying wacky planes around to "stop that pigeon". Which they never achieve.
On a residential course at a management school, I learnt more from this series (then on in the mornings) about management technique than from the formal lectures - rewarding staff ("medalmedalmedal"), retribution for failure (general's fist bops Dastardly on the head), and not thinking outside the box, trusting instead only in building ever sillier things to achieve team objectives!
What happens is usually genuinely unpredictable and normally hilarious. It's a long time since I laughed so much at a cartoon.
Like the other Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the sixties and seventies, this is very colourful, but quite low on detail, and the lighter areas like character's faces often show blobs. The action happening in the sky avoids "Scooby-Doo just went past that vase for the fifth time" syndrome.
The episodes are at their very best in English - it came as a surprise to learn that only two people did all the voices. Paul Winchell (who was also Fleegle in the Banana Splits and Gargamel in the Smurfs) was Dastardly and the General, and Don "Boo Boo" Messick was *absolutely* everyone else including the Stanley Unwin-type talking Klunk. Nevertheless, you can watch in French or Italian if you like karaoke "Stop that Pigeon" and can live with Klunk talking more normally. Subtitles include Dutch.
As for extras, there is a short piece on how this show was originally conceived without the double-dealing do-badders Dastardly and Muttley, and two complete shows with commentary by the original team.
It's a hoot! Get that DVD! Rootly-toot-de-toot!

remembered from my childhood,this was one of my favourites on the BBC.A spin off from `wacky races`these are the adventures of Vulture sqn`s attempts to`catch the pigeon`.
Purchased to show the children i work with what i had at their age to watch on TV,they also enjoy the absurd flying machines and characters,Muttley being the most loved,thou i have not witnessed any impressions as yet!
The cartoons are short by todays standard,and to the children they seemed not as well made.However that did not stop their enjoyment and the short duration ment they could come and go as they pleased,without spoiling theirs or anyone elses fun.
Recomended for all children of a certain age.

This collection is how cartoons should be!
This DVD brings back childhood memories, with the brilliant theme tune (also used at our wedding, ahem). A definite buy for those who like Dastardly And Muttley - along with Klunk and Zilly.

CATCH THE PIDGEON
Brilliant retro slapstick cartoon comedy. Kids cannot stop watching. Great value for money. Only 4 stars because it's not quite as good as Wacky Races.
