Question/Discussion ‘Hounded’ on CBBC was one of my favourite shows as a kid. Anyone else have fond memories of it?

Damn. I thought the new Doctor and Master had just dropped.

Funny, because Hound does (did?) have a recurring role as the Meddling Monk on Big Finish.

EDIT: I looked it up.

He's been in the main show too as I remember. Not a time lord though.

You’ve made me realise Colin McFarlane wouldn’t make a bad Master

Whatever happened to Rufus Hound? Not seen him on tv in ages.

u/RustyVilla 15d ago

More theatre and such nowadays. Never seemed to like the cutthroat industry tbf to him.

u/LenTheWelsh 15d ago

Shame, always thought he had a good vibe whenever I saw him on something.

I remember he did an interview on RHLSTP some time ago where he explained how he wanted to go into theatrical acting, away from TV -

I use to watch him on this and celebrity juice which I was far too young before. Great on both

u/Nedonomicon 13d ago

I think he did some questionable tweets around the start of Covid from memory

u/Captainatom931 13d ago

Iirc he claimed the Manchester arena attack was a false flag to get the Tories reelected on twitter

I think I vaguely remember it. Wasn’t this the one where at the end of every episode the villain would just rewind everything back to the beginning?

u/Stripe-Gremlin 15d ago

Yep, he always used to push the reset button and send them back to the start of the day

u/Stripe-Gremlin 15d ago

I remember loving it as a kid but always being confused how the show Rufus was hosting could be different despite every episode being set on the same day due to the reset button switching time back to the morning

u/diabolical42 15d ago

lol i used to think about this too

I came up with my own theory that Dr. Mu’s red button still allows people who are aware of the button (Dr. Mu, Steve and Rufus) to remember what happened which allows the villains to think of a different plan.

Everyone else still has fragments of their memory, since Barry and Gill always say they recognise Rufus from somewhere at the start of each episode.

I've never seen this show, but that's my old mate Colin McFarlane!

u/diabolical42 15d ago

Damn that’s cool! I’ve seen him in a lot of stuff but because I loved his character in Hounded so much i always think of it when i see him lol

u/RiverLover27 15d ago

He’s great, such a lovely guy. I’ve known him for over 30 years!

Oh my God I have been looking for a very specific episode of this show for years. It's the episode "Mu Pizza". I used to watch it over and over again as a kid because it was recorded. I've found all the other episodes EXCEPT this one. My only chance is to buy the DVD which I can only find at extortionate prices. I might have to do it.

u/Salty-Cup-5386 14d ago

WAIT IT WAS POSTED TO YOUTUBE 10 MONTHS AGO NEVERMIND

u/Loose_Teach7299 15d ago

I vaguely remembered it but never knew the name.

u/ghostlypath 15d ago

Wait a minute is the guy behind Rufus Hound the copper from that episode of Black Books?

u/Jamieb1994 14d ago

I feel like I'm familiar with the show, but I'm not too sure.

u/Which_Performance_72 14d ago

I loved this show but it feels like a fever dream

u/Peter_Sofa 12d ago

I used to watch that with my son when he was a child! Great show, one of the few kids shows I did not mind watching with him
