Whoops Baghdad (also known as Frankie Howerd in Whoops Baghdad ) is a BBC television comedy programme first broadcast from 25 January to 1 March 1973.
Starring Frankie Howerd, it was similar to his earlier programme Up Pompeii!, with the setting moved from Ancient Rome to medieval Baghdad. Unlike its predecessor, all six episodes exist. The original proposed title, Up Baghdad, was rejected because it was felt that it might have been seen as supportive of the then-current Iraqi regime.
