* AbsenteeActor Count Duckula, Igor and Nanny guest star in the episode 'Treasure Haunt', but Igor is not given any lines due to Jack May not being cast in this series. It's explained away as the butler sulking with his master and 'he's not speaking to you until we're home!'. The bunglers pet parrot Interpoll is also silent in his brief appearance in this episode despite David Jason still being present to voice his other characters.
** Hawkeye Soammes, a character also voiced by Jack May in his appearences in WesternAnimation/{{CountDuckula}}, guests in severeal episodes in this series, voiced now by Brian Trueman. As a supporting character though, it's far less noticable than if one of the other actors had filled in for Igor.

* HypnoFool - In [[PunnyTitle Hyp-Not-Isn't]], Victor tries to hypnotise himself into becoming a master criminal by aid of looking at himself in a hand-mirror. Unfortunately for him, Hugo is sitting right behind him looking at his own reflection in the mirror, so he is the one who gets hypnotised. To cap it all off, Victor has a cold, so whenever he sneezes, Hugo turns into a tough-talking, hyper-competent gangster but changes back to his usual useless crook self whenever Victor sneezes again - always at the worst possible moment.

-->''Hello? Victor and Hugo of Naughtiness International, no crime too big, no crime too small. How can I help you?'''
-->--Victor, when answering the parrot. I mean telephone.

* ExpressiveMask - the brothers' perpetual bandit-masks.

* HammerSpace - The back of the van was very capacious somewhat like a clown car which is entirely appropriate.
