Hogan's Heroes Page 2

Good show, but I prefer Bewitched and Batman from that era.

Just read that Richard Dawson has passed away.

Is it correct that he had wanted the lead role and didn't get on so well with Bob Crane?

I remeber Hogan's Heroes being shown on Sky's short-lived Comedy Channel in 1991-92. I don't remember much about the programme, although I can distinctly remember thinking the episodes were funny.

I didn't know anything about Bob Crane being a murder victim.

The fat guy was John Banner who also featured in something else called "Teddy's Bears" or something like that.

Werner Klemperer, who played Klink, was a jewish refugee and is perhaps best known apart from Hogan (ironically) for playing Eichmann.

Cast member Ivan Dixon was also quite active as a Director of many TV shows.
