Just sharing...cause I remember doing the "open channel D" routine with a pen fairly regularly with my friends back in the day. Solo and Kuryakin, trained in martial arts, also had a range of useful spy equipment, including handheld satellite communicators to keep in contact with UNCLE headquarters. A catchphrase often heard was "Open Channel D" when agents used their pocket radios; these were originally disguised as cigarette packs, later as a cigarette case, and in following seasons, as pens. One of the original pen communicators now resides in the museum of the Central Intelligence Agency. The museum is not accessible to the public. Replicas have been made over the years for other displays, and this is the second-most-identifiable prop from the series (closely following the U.N.C.L.E. Special pistol).

Cool childhood TV memories Vampy !!

TMFU even made it into current TV pop culture in an episode of "Mad Man". In one scene, daughter Sally really "enjoys" watching the show as well. Ha, Ha...

BUT did Napoleon Solo ever visit a Tiki bar?

I do know that TV Exotica Girl Vitina Marcus made a guest appearance (again sporting the animal skin) in "My Friend, The Gorilla Affair"...

Check out her smokin' Tiki dance scene from "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea".

For my money, Stephanie Powers in "The Girl from U.N.C.L.E." was much more Tiki.

In "The Paradise Lost Affair" episode she even goes "native"...

Plus TGFU had the way better soundtrack score. Those "wordless vocals" would play well in a Tiki bar.

They both share a common wooden essence. Ha, Ha.
