Captain Zeppos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Captain Zeppos was a Belgian children's television serial made in the 1960s. The series was made in black and white. Series 1 was exported and translated into English by the BBC, and became quite popular in the UK, screened from October 1966. Subsequent series, made after a gap of four years, were neither translated into English, nor broadcast in Britain, but all the series are available commercially in the original Flemish. The titular character was played by the Flemish actor, Senne Rouffaer, (b. 19th December 1925 - d. 14th July 2006).
[edit] Trivia
There are commemorative Kaptein Zeppos cafes in both Amsterdam and Antwerp. The theme tune for the series was "Living it Up", recorded by Bert Kaempfert and His Orchestra. Featuring Kaempfert's characteristic trumpet sound, it became very popular at the time the first series was airing.
