Flash Gordon episode from the 1950's
I saw an episode where Flash, Dale, and Dr. Zarkov have to travel back in time(this Flash Gordon TV show took some liberties from Alex Raymond's comic strip and took place many years in the future) to the 1950's in order to find a bomb that could destroy the entire Earth.. They land in West Germany(where a bunch of episodes where produced); I am glad the producers and writers where open about the Germanic locations and they didn't try to pass off West Germany as...say...Wisconsin or something like that. For some reason, the crew made the actors playing cops speak English instead of German. The actors playing the cops speak broken English with thick Germanic accents(is English a language with Germanic roots?). Quite interesting. I wonder if this episode was inspiration for 'Star Trek IV'(1986); where the protagonists have to go back in time to save Earth in the present(it might be a co-incidence).
