Main and Major Characters

Dennis the Menace; voiced by Richard Pearce.

Gnasher, the Abyssinian wire-haired tripehound; voiced by Kerry Shale. Gnasher is Dennis's pet dog. He is Dennis's 'partner-in-crime' twenty four hours a day, seven days a week--together they are the proverbial 'two peas in a pod'. When Gnasher is not by Dennis's side, like during school hours, (though he does follow Dennis to school in the mornings), he'll have taken up his vigil, hiding in the front garden, ready and waiting to ambush the postman as he attempts to deliver the mail on Gnasher's watch. Gnasher's family still lives on the isle of "Abyssinia", as revealed in The Trial, when a company of rat catchers had accused Gnasher of being a large rat instead of being a dog. Gnasher possesses a set of teeth that are capable of chewing through almost anything, hence his name - "Gnasher". His favorite food are bones and his favorite dog toy is his squeeky bone. In Summer Holiday, Gnasher went by the alias of "Baby Norman", Dennis's baby brother, to be allowed to stay at a beachside guesthouse whose owner disliked pets. In Special Agent Dennis, its revealed that Dennis feeds Gnasher his homework rather that actually do the homework. Image:DianaHound. ...

Dennis's Granny, "Gertrude"; voiced by Sally Grace. Although she is of eighty-years-of-age, Dennis's Granny is still very young at heart. Dennis loves his Granny, he defends her when another speaks ill of her (Dennis and the Beanstalk), and will come to her for advice in times of need (The Day TV was Banned). In her youth, Dennis's Granny was every bit the Menace towards anything like a peaceful society in Beanotown that her grandson is today, as revealed in The Secret Diary, and in her day there was a police officer, Sgt Boot, who was the 'Sgt. Slipper' to her 'Dennis'. According to information from the Beano comicbook, she is the mother of Dennis's Dad; in The Secret Diary, when Dennis's Dad mentions more than once how well-behaved he was to his parents, he may have been referring particularly to his father because Dennis's Granny favors her grandson, Dennis, who takes after her. In The Secret Diary, she was depicted as having black hair, like her son and grandson, but in Gorilla Warfare, she was seen in a flashback with blond hair (so possibley she dyed it). She rides a motorcycle and eats pizza with "everything on them". She is perhaps the only adult, as mentioned by Dennis's Dad, "insane enough" to provide Dennis with any adult supervision, and survive intact and willingly can come back for more of the fun and mayhem.
