OK, so I admit, Victor and Hugo was not as good as Cosgrove Hall's other gems, examples, DangerMouse and Count Duckula. But this little show was still a very good one.
Recently I bought a DVD with one episode of Victor and Hugo on it. So, I watched it to bring back all those memories... It was 'Panda Monium', one I had not seen before, and I found it too hilarious. Seriously, I can't express how good it was.
Anyway, the whole story is about 2 brothers: Victor, who is tall and thin, and the general 'leader', if you like, and is rather vain and selfish. Then there's Hugo, the short and fat idiot, but very fun-loving, who makes (bad!) jokes up as the story goes along. They also have a cockney parrot, Interpoll, who they sometimes use as a telephone (what an imagination CHF had...!). Victor and Hugo are partners of Naughtiness International... basically they're burglars. VERY bad ones. I mean, what kind of a kid's cartoon would have the bad guys always winning?? Anyway, the jokes are decent (oddly enough!), the animation is decent, better than most other CHF cartoons, anyway, the plot is good... If you ever had the chance to watch this, take it. Seeing as only one episode (so far) has been released on DVD (boo hoo hoo), you may never have the chance again. It's too good to miss.
(And I still think Hugo looks adorable in that Panda suit :P)
