The new series seems a lot more 'real' really - you can believe they're real characters - they've got more personality than they ever had.
Pie-face's voice DID throw me, but as far as I can gather he's now the youngest of the group. It's nice to see the characters have a sort of social class. Curly seems to be the older, more cautious one, for instance.
We don't really have any TV shows about average kids and childhood rivalry - something this series fixes perfectly.
And the frame count is brilliant, gives a really sleek, smooth look to the series. Very well done.
I've watched a few episodes now and the thing I like the most is the voices. They've all got Northern accents now! It's absolutely fantastic! So the characters gain a lot of character when they open their mouths and it adds to their personalities.
I too prefer the 90s version simply because the episodes were longer so they had longer storylines. In the 00s version (only 10 minutes long), the plot and humour is relatively more simple and seems to be based around Dennis and Walter annoying each other in a variety of imaginative ways. The good thing about this is that the latest series has the feel of the weekly comic strip as a result, which shows that the makers of the show clearly understand and appreciate the source material.

I caught it earlier today after it aired on the CBBC channel. I enjoyed it. Still prefer the 90s version though just because I enjoyed the more random humour.
What I don't understand in the new series is why they've changed Walter's friends. I believe the blond kid is still Bertie but who is the new guy? I know I've read his name somewhere and the name Percival is popping up but I think that's wrong. Where did he come from?
Pieface's voice threw me off a bit. I wasn't expecting him to sound so young. I certainly prefer his old voice.

Soo, are you after the issue with all the info on the new Dennis series? If you are then don't worry. It'll all be in next weeks issue. They got the date wrong.
Is there something wrong with this forum as well? It says there have been no replies to this topic yet there clearly have been. Unless of course I am imagining all of your posts and am now typing to myself...

I've been thinking it has been too quiet around here lately. I have a job now but that hasn't stopped me coming online. I've just not had much to say seeing as I don't buy the Beano much anymore. I did buy this week's.
I'm surprised Mooney hasn't been here going on about the Dennis make over ready for the TV launch.

Hello again. I still drop by every now and and, if there's any activity, I'll leave a quick message just so you know I'm still around. I'm sure the members would do the same. It's just everyone's on holiday at the moment and things are a bit quiet because we don't have much to say. We seem to be better at replying to threads than actually creating them so no new threads = no conversation.
Derek's still addicted to his twitter account, though. He usually posts 10 tweets a day! Yesterday, he decided to become a world-famous mime artist!

Wow. It's been a long time since anyone used this messageboard. More than a month, in fact. And it used to be so busy as well. It's quite depressing really.
Anyway, just thought I'd mention Derek's story in last week's Beano, which most of you already probably have, with Vera the Cow dressing up as a mermaid, Cecil showing off his sewing skills, and Farmer Jack becoming the next Simon Cowell!

Couldn't you just buy a subscription and have it sent to your home instead? Then you wouldn't need to remember to run to the shops each week.
Speaking of which, here's a random video of a penguin running. As you watch this, imagine him saying, "Gotta get this week's Beano before the shops close!"

I got a Beano with its lolly missing once when I ordered it from my newsagent. He said it arrived like that. I wouldn't have minded as much if it hadn't taken a section of the front cover with it.
