    Well David Jason was the voice of Danger Mouse, and Terry Scott was Penfold, and I think Alexander Armstrong more recently took over David Jason's role, so I'm going to go with Danger Mouse voice actors?

    That is it precisely. Old and new voices of Danger Mouse and Penfold.

    Used to love DM as a kid, and remember reading something about Alexander Armstrong taken over the main role a few years back. Never seen any of the new ones, so I should check it out to see if it still holds the same charm.

    I'm a stickler for hearing a familiar voice in a cartoon then going off to IMDB to find out who it was.

    Sorry Srameen, something odd happened to the order of answering there, there have been a few problems recently with posts going out of order.

    You are of course correct, the clown face collection - and the faces are mostly on ceramic eggs these days.

    Hans Talhoffer (Dalhover, Talhouer, Thalhoffer, Talhofer) was a 15th-century German fencing master. His martial lineage is unknown, but his writings make it clear that he had some connection to the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer, the grand master of a well-known Medieval German school of fencing. Talhoffer was a well-educated man who took interest in astrology, mathematics, onomastics, and the auctoritas and the ratio. He authored at least five fencing manuals during the course of his career, and appears to have made his living teaching, including training people for trial by combat.

    Keeping with the nautical theme, this is a 2 part question.

    The first person to realise the Titanic was sinking was a lamp trimmer.

    What was a lamp trimmers traditional job at sea and why were there lamp trimmers on the Titanic?

    I'd guess it probably wasn't trimming lamps? :D

    Hm, just looked it up and a lamp trimmer was just that, he trimmed lamps. However on the Titanic...

    Or keeping the glass on the lamps clean? I'm assuming that as well as trimming the wick of the street lamps they were also given the task to clean the soot off the glass panes themselves.
