Would you guys believe that I was watching this series back in the eighties in - of all places - Nigeria?!? I was a kid then but I found this and many more British comedies shown on NTA Calabar absolutely hilarious and wouldn't miss an airing - unless it couldnt be helped. Bless their hearts!

Had the pleasure of meeting both Kim Hartman (Helga) and Richard Gibson (Herr Flick) at a convention in Sweden a couple of days ago, and when I was about to pose with them for a photo I presented myself to Kim with "Your highness," and Richard said, in his Flick voice, "She IS quite high." lol They were both really great and wonderful people in real life. Two of the sweetest celebrities I've ever met, and thanks to these two characters they're also tv comedy legends.

I'd agree Richard can play, those are the correct notes, unlikely it is the original sound as he's wearing gloves, but that doesn't mean it's not him over dubbing himself. However I'd guess it's Nigel Kennedy playing. NK was mega at that time. I'll have to research this.

I stand corrected, I just looked it up and apparently that theme that Herr Flick plays when Helga strips was actually made in 1962, by someone called David Rose. But yes, it is a well known song for strip teases. Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft must've just used it for comedic effect.
@russs7574
2 жыл бұрын
David Rose recorded "The Stripper" in 1958, and it was released in 1962. It hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July, and was the #5 record of the year. It was also used in an ad campaign for Noxema Shaving Cream in the late 60's. The ads featured this song accompanying shots of a guy shaving, and a Swedish model saying, "Take it off. Take it all off." (meaning the guy's beard). It would have been the series of ads before the ones which featured Joe Namath and an unknown (at the time) Farrah Fawcett as "Creamy."
