Synopsis
TV Series (1974-1975). 78 Episodes. Vicky is a small boy with red or blond shoulder long hair. He wears a skirt, which is typical for Vikings though he may be confused as being a little girl, along with his unisex name. He lives with his parents Halvar and Ylva in the small medieval Viking village Flake. He is by no means a typical Vikingboy, but rather fearful. He is also not very strong. On the other hand, his forte is his original ideas, which help the adults and his friends out of desperate situations. Every time Vicky ponders about a difficult problem, he touches his nose with his index finger (first both sides, then the bottom. At the same time the particular background music plays). Suddenly he receives the idea that provides the solution from the situation (this is indicated by "raining stars"). He then always snaps his fingers and yells out his Heureka-shout "Ich hab's!" ("I got it"). Whenever his father, the Chief of the Viking village, is involved with the realization of the idea, he later claims that he had the same idea, but only wanted to see if his son would think of it too.

Vicky mostly spends time out to sea together with Halvar and the ship crew, which are more or less "strong men". In every episode they experience new, dangerous or funny adventures. In the beginning, Vicky had to overcome a degree of scepsis shown by the men. Later, he becomes more and more a mascot, without which the men would refuse to go on their trips since they fear that without Vicky's ideas, they would likely not arrive back home again.

Vicky's solutions are often not relevant to the time of the story. Sometimes they are based on historical events, eg. the Trojan Horse. At other times, they could come from a mathematician or physicist of later centuries. This modern form of common knowledge makes Vicky a role model for the juvenile audience. He shows that a hero need not be strong in all cases, but an admirable amount of intelligence or smartness can replace muscles and courage. (From wikipedia.org)
