Oh...oh dear...

There was what?!
A CROSSOVER EPISODE?!
Gimme details!
And for the Gary Glitter bit..well, you can't have everything.
-
Victor And Hugo also had a few crossover episodes with Duckula, apparently, as well as with Dangermouse. They were all produced by the same animation studio, Cosgrove Hall. The excellent website 'Cosgrove Hall Ate My Brain', run by the person who runs the Dreamstone website, has details. I would post a link but at the time of writing the website doesn't seem to be working.
You asked for details: the episode I saw was called 'French Exchange'. The short French criminal Hugo goes to London and poses as Penfold's locum, Blancmange, in order to capture DM's car, whilst the tall criminal Victor becomes the new pilot of Baron Greenback's ship.

Good grief!
I only have a small library of these shows, as in a video containing 3 eps of Victor + Hugo, a DVD with 6 eps of Count Duckula, 40 of Dangermouse (so not that small, after all), but only 3 of Dreamstone (counting the first one as two)
But 48 eps of Knightmare! And growing (one hopes)
-
They're only the first episode and the one with a balloon in (sorry I can't be more specific, it's been ages since I saw it).
I've also got a tape of 'Where's wally?', which isn't bad.

Dreamstone!
Better than a Dream
Stranger than my wild imagination
If it is real sensation
It's better than a dream...
Higher than the moon,
Hazy, like a beautiful illusion,
Crazy and in confusion:
It's better than a Dreeeeeeam!
What wonderful lyrics...
As many of you probably know, Mike Batt, who wrote 'Better Than A Dream', also composed some less wonderful but better-known lyrics: 'Underground, overground, wombling free..'
-
It may be comparing a teapot to a fence post, but Dreamstone was wayyyy better than the wombles. Dreamstone didn't attack the pop charts with novelty songs, for one thing.
"Remember you're a womble!"
Actually I'm not. Sorry to waste your time, but I don't live in Wimbledon and I don't make the most of the things that I find.

Come on, there's 400 of us here. Chances are there must be at least ONE...
-
They could be shamefully hiding it as a dark secret never to be told...
But anyway.
I always liked 'Reboot' myself.
-
I must confess, I travel both underground and overground, and I tend to make good use of the things that I find; but I'm told that doesn't necessarily make me a Womble. I'll took into taking a DNA test, just to be sure.
Enya's 'Orinoco Flow' is surely one of most refined Womble tribute songs ever.
-
Wull, I have an uncle who was originally FROM Bulgaria. Does that count? Or would I have to get him to change his name to reflect that? I like Enya too, which is more evidence.
I don't think I am one though. All this making good use of the things they they find business was a sham, really. They just horded stuff for no good reason, which made Wimbledon Common a filthy stinking disease-ridden hellhole. Wimbledon Council came and exterminated them for the sake of public heath, the evil scheming little tramps.

I didn't realise your views were that strong on wombles GG. I shall never mention them again in your prescence.

Heh, nor did I until I started writing that. If that's how I get in describing something pretty harmless to anyone outside Wimbledon, I hate to think what state I'd work myself into in commenting on someone truly evil, upsetting or offensive. So no-one mention Celine Dion, okay?

Riminds me of some people near where I lived, who camped temporarily for a few weeks on a grassy area just off the main dual carriagway across from our local Asda. They left eventually and those dirty filthy 'scumpots' left a dirty mess of rubbish along the grassy bit where they had been. I reacon that they might be related to those Wombles then!
