1* AdoredByTheNetwork: Ran on Nickelodeon from 1988 to 1993 and was, in essence a prototype of the original Franchise/{{Nicktoons}}. You can't get much more love than having a Nickelodeon Splat logo in your silhouette.
2* ActingForTwo: The five main cast members also played most of the guest characters, with the exception of some ([[LarynxDissonance but not all]]) female characters, who were played by Creator/RubyWax.
3* CompletelyDifferentTitle: The series was titled ''怪鸭历险记'' (''Adventures of the Strange Duck'') in mainland China and ''殭屍奇鴨'' (''Mystic Zombie Duck'') in Hong Kong.
4* CrossDressingVoices: Nanny is voiced by Brian Trueman.
5* HeAlsoDid: The narrator, actor Barry Clayton, spoke the intro for Music/IronMaiden's "The Number of the Beast".
6* InternationalCoproduction: Between Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and Cosgrove-Hall. Unlike ''Danger Mouse'', the show was specifically commissioned by Nickelodeon and aired exclusively on Nickelodeon in the United States.
7* NoExportForYou: Only the first season got a home release on DVD in the US. The rest of it has only been released in international territories.
8** Mainly, Barry Clayton only voiced the narrator apart from in the final episode where he got to voice Dr. Quackbrain. Interestingly, said character doesn't interact with the main cast much due to them being under hypnosis.
9* UncreditedRole: Creator/RubyWax as a girl in "Castle Duckula: Open to the Public".
10* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to Brian Trueman's CV, thirteen more episodes were written and recorded, but due to Thames Television losing their franchise, didn't get animated.
