When Vincent Price saw the show he was outraged that he was parodied in the show but never approached to play the narrator, as he would have definitely accepted.

"Count Duckula" is a spin-off of "Danger Mouse", in which Count Duckula was a villain and had once teamed up with Danger Mouse's arch-enemy Silas Greenback on one occasion.

The narrator (Barry Clayton) opens and closes every episode, in a voice which parodies Vincent Price's iconic voice-overs.

During the Gulf War, David Jason met someone in a pub who worked at RAF Command Headquarters. He told Jason they race 3-wheel vans against each other, paint them yellow with Trotters Independent Traders down the sides of them like the van from Only Fools and Horses (1981). Jason went down to have a look, but he didn't see a race. Jason, Nicholas Lyndhurst and Buster Merryfield sent a Trotters van out to Kuwait. They slipped it into a Hercules plane among other stuff on a supply run and when it was unloaded the crew would find the van, filled up with chewing gum, toothpaste, cake and Danger Mouse (1981) and Count Duckula (1988) tapes from Brian Cosgrove with labels saying Debbie Does Dallas and Unzipperdedoodah and all sorts to amuse them. Jason didn't ask for any publicity because he didn't want anyone to think it was just for that, but a private joke between the RAF and the Trotters. The van was put in the hold and covered up with medical supplies and ammunition and flew to Kuwait, where its discovery brought some light relief.

The theme song was performed by Doreen Edwards and Mike Harding.
