Show Notes
Much to enjoy this week. Kim marvels at the pace of Gorden’s opening monologue, and declares it an example of dynamic playing for all actors. She also pretends not to get excited about the numbering of the podcasts. Kim and Guy notice for the first time that this episode marks the beginning of a romance between Helga and Gruber that will eventually result in marriage and children. Boohoo Herr Flick… In the real world, Kim is spotted in a cinema in which she is appearing, and Ron Hartman – better known as the illustrious actor, John Nolan, whose eminence is often overlooked, even in his own kitchen – treats viewers and listeners to the reading of a letter, as well as some choice storytelling.

René and the gang are still in their flamenco getup, and bravely doing their best to carry out another of Michelle’s hare-brained schemes. A truth serum from a Patagonian frog causes Helga’s breasts to swell to unfeasible proportions, and it is universally acknowledged among the podsters that Richatd Marner is striking in disguise as a Resisitance girl. No sign in this series so far of Captain Bertorelli or the two airmen. No one seems sure about what became of them, or whether they will be coming back at any time.
While the folk from the café are busy disguising themselves as Flamenco dancers, Herr Flick and von Smallhausen – in the guise of women privates of the opposite sex – are put through their paces doing star jumps with melons down their bras. Helga, of course, also sports fetching gym kit, and Gruber has a saucy moment with Monsieur Alphonse. Prepare to shake those legs as we are treated to a special bonus rendition of Kim’s and Richard’s lively single, Rock Around Ze Clock.
Shock and alarm in Café René as Yvette reveals that she is pregnant. A truth serum from a Patagonian firefly causes von Smallhausen’s backside to sparkle in the most delightful way. Kim, Richard and Guy recall a studio prank that involved the late, great comedian Frank Carson. And their antics at Schiphol airport prove that they still have not grown up very much.
Fun and merriment as the gypsies come to town. René has his fortune told but Edith’s hand is too wrinkly to get an accurate reading. Louise Gold returns as Elsa Bigstern, and Michelle of the Resistance sports a highly fetching swimsuit.
Kim, Guy and Richard make the most of the hot summer days by recording the pod in Kim’s garden. All kinds of subjects are covered, including the guest appearance of the magninficent Louise Gold, in the role of Elsa Bigstern, who is there to take care of the office – as well as Herr Flick – while Helga takes a few days off. The airmen are down a drain, and have to be fed sausages via René’s trouser leg, and soup from Fanny’s wheelchair. To add to the fun, the general gets a good hosing down with vanilla ice cream.
