[Inspector Abberline]

Hot Off the Griddle/The Cat and the Fiddle...37/38

THE ANSWER TO THESE AND OTHER BURNING QUESTIONS TOMORROW! SAME CAT-TIME, SAME CAT-CHANNEL!

Something big up her paw, Eh what's that you say Bats???...Holy incomprehensible dialogue...Julie Newmar returns in all her shiny catsuit glory as Cat Woman, as she and her gang of cat burglars go on a robbery spree, of course this does not go unnoticed by Commissioner Gordon and his imbecilic sidekick Chief O'Hara, who then get right on the bat phone of course. Its a good job the writers of Are You Being Served were not involved in the writing of the script, the cat puns come thick and fast, we can only guess what would have happened if Mrs. Slocombe was cast as cat woman, my brain would have gone into overload with pussy jokes...Batman is in good form this episode, correcting Robin on his grammar and reprimanding him when he complains about putting 5 cents into the parking meter, he sounds like he is rehearsing for a public information film whenever he goes into punctuation mode...There is a notable early screen role for James Brolin as security van driver who Cat woman takes a fancy too while dressed as an old lady...She also makes several attempts to get into the Bats briefs much to Robins annoyance, and of course Bats naturally rebukes her advances...
