Season 1 Episode 18 (episode 18 overall) Original broadcast date: 10th January 1989 Writer: Brian Trueman Additional voices: Receptionist: Ruby Wax Mrs Grab: Brian Trueman Mr Nouveau-Riche: David Jason Mrs Nouveau-Riche/ Dr Von Goosewing: Jimmy Hibbert Joke Credit: Gadgets - Pat. Pending Castle transport visual not used. Duckula discovers that he can earn money by renting out his staff, but then he has no-one to look after him or his castle. When this series steps aside from horror pastiches and turn-of-the-century style adventure it tends to do stuff like this. I don't know what to define this theme as other than the kind of mature plotlines that deal with staffing issues, class and greed. The sort that would be at home in a sitcom like Blackadder or Fawlty Towers as written by P.G. Wodehous
