Whoops Baghdad - Ep 4/6 - A Cargo of Crumpet

Rare TV comedy series from 1973, starring Frankie Howerd as Ali Oopla, servant to the Wazir of ancient Baghdad. This series has never been released on VHS or DVD.
Ali's sent to the market to purchase a woman for his master to gift to the Caliph. Unfortunately a rival bidder is particularly wealthy, and Ali must pull some tricks out of his sleeve to avoid being roasted alive himself!

I didn’t watch this series so much, in my 20s looking at other things !

The Beeb were obviously looking for the repeat success of Up Pompeii. Sadly, despite the wonderful Frankie, the script is terrible.

[@nigelh3253]

Agree. It was impossible to beat the script Tolbot Rothwell did for Up Pompeii.
