"Ghostly Gold" is the first episode of Series 2 and the twenty-seventh episode overall. It was first broadcast on ITV in the UK on September 12th 1989.
Summary
Count Duckula travels to the black mountains in the Yukon to find treasure and gold, only later to find out from Igor that everyone in Goldsville are all ghosts. After Nanny carelessly bangs the doors too hard, Castle Duckula later collapses and falls down, sending everything in the castle right to the bottom of the hill. This is because Dr. Von Goosewing (unseen by Duckula) is drilling through the hill to find Duckula unseen.

Copyright Gag
Despite this episode first being broadcast in 1989, the roman numerals in the copyright credit reads 'MCMLXXXVIII', meaning it is dated in 1988.
