Batmania United Kingdom Yvonne Craig as Batgirl

Batgirl entered the Batman Tv show in 1967 in order to try to freshen up, and save the series as it was in danger of being cancelled as its popularity had been declining at the end of its second series.

A 10 minute promo was created to introduce the Batgirl character into the Batman show in 1967 to make her appearence in the third series. ABC liked the idea, but unfortunatly her appearance could'nt save the Batman series and sadly the Batman Tv show ended in 1968 with Batgirl appearing in 26 episodes.

In the series Batgirl makes the dynamic duo (Batman & Robin) become the "Terrific Trio" as they foil criminal's plots..

Yvonne:
" When they called me and asked if I would like to do Batgirl in the Batman series, I was very interested. I had been looking around for a series. When I went into Mr Doziers office, he said ' And of course you've seen our show' and I said that I hadn't but that I would watch it all summer long in re-runs if I get this job because I need to know how it looks and how I fit in. He didn't seem offended by that at all. "
