This TV series will probably always have a certain audience among young heterosexual male audiences, not least because of the number of well-endowed scantily-clad actresses wandering across the screen in harem girl costumes. Make no mistake, for with a central female character named Boobiana (Anna Brett), this is one TV series that you won't see being screened at the next AGM of your local Womens Lib group (!!).This short-live series was a follow-up to Howerd's earlier TV show "Up Pompeii", with the location transplanted from Ancient Rome to Medieval Baghdad. As with "Pompeii", the set-up was little more than a backdrop for an endless series of Howerds' trademark double entendres and risqué gags, and he starts each episode with a prologue — a "to camera" that almost always never gets finished and has nothing at all to do with the main plot. The series was filmed in front of a live audience, with which Howerd interacted. When Howerd addresses the audience, the other characters don't usually take notice - he is the only one in on the joke. And that's okay, because after all, it's his show!! One for fans of Frankie Howerd only or those who have a Harem Girl fetish, but quite honestly "Pompeii" was better, and if you've seen that show, why would you want to see the entire show recycled again into this? There's a very good reason "Whoops Baghdad" only ran for six episodes. It just wasn't that good. 4/10
