Dustin's Daily News took place in the Dublin Mountains, where Dustin established his own network news channel. While Dustin would always be able to avoid being captured by a butcher in the opening sequence, he had another villain to contend with during the run of the show. The infamous Martin Duck planned a takeover of Dustin's news channel, but gardaí foiled him.
