Yes, very good Craig and Cliff.
That is a picture of Helouise Pinheiro, who was the Girl from Ipanema who inspired the song and it was on Spicks & Specks.
Cliff, not sure if you noticed but they got the next bit wrong. He said that the two composers who were inspired by her were the Brazilians Joao Gilberto and Stan Getz. Now, Stan Getz is an American and they were the two who made the song popular, but they weren't the two composers. Maybe an email to the ABC is in order.

You needed to be a Ross Noble fan to enjoy that episode as nobody else really got a chance to say anything. The bloke's a nutcase. Originally Posted by craigb

Antonio Jobim is the person people talk of as the composer (but there are other people who I don't remember). Jobim actually appeared on the Frank Sinatra verison of the song.

So I told them and this was the reply:
Dear Mr C
Thank you for your email regarding the program Spicks and Specks.
Your comments regarding the song Girl of Ipanema are correct. Joao Gilberto and Stan Getz made the song a worldwide hit in 1964, but they did not write it. There is a great reference page at http://www.joaogilberto.org/daniella.htm for more information.
I will pass your email on to the producers of the program for their information, and I thank you for bringing this matter to the ABC's attention.
Yours sincerely,
Matthew Galvin

The composer (or co-composer) was V de Moraes, can't remeber his first name or the correct spelling of his surname. Venicio or something similar.

Okay, I rang my dad, music composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim, lyrics by the poet Vinicius de Moraes. Wonderful stuff, the Portugues influence gives all the music a minor key melancholy feel, and listening to lyrics in Portuguese makes you wish you could understand it while transporting you to far away places in your mind's eye. Beautiful language for singing, mellifluous. Oh, did I mention that I really like this stuff?
Hmmm, might have to copy some of my dad's old records onto CD.
