I think you’ll have to be a dedicated Buck Rogers fan to get this. I’m not, and my on-line searching has come up empty. The television series featured Twiki, a small robot voiced by Mel Blanc. Twiki would frequently offer up short vocal insights on the goings-on around him, almost always preceeded by “biddi-biddi” (spelling from Wikipedia). Watching Buck Rogers was a hit-or-miss affair for me. But I distinctly remember an episode where Twiki says “biddi-biddi, what a body!” Erin Gray certainly had a nice body, but I don’t think he was referring to Ms. Gray in the scene. Can anyone identify the episode by name? Or am I just imagining this? ---

I thought it might involve Tina, but so far no luck finding evidence [twiki and female robot interact... booty! - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd8MGNjkm0s) ---

I believe it’s from the pilot episode and refers to Princess Ardala. ---

I don’t know if it’s in the pilot, but the IMDB [quotes site] ([Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979) - Mel Blanc as Twiki - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077278/characters/nm0000305)) agrees that Twiki was referring to Princess Ardala. ---

Thanks folks. At some point, probably in the distant future, I’ll get a chance to see the pilot again. I know what to look for now. Excellent! ---
