(PG)
René Artois is the owner and manager of a café in German-occupied France of World War II. To look at him, it's hard to believe that some women find him irresistible, something he has to work hard to hide from his wife Edith (Carmen Silvera). René's café, frequented by both the German military and the French resistance, is the focal point for the show. René's (Gorden Kaye) a bit of a coward and is stuck in the middle, trying to humor both sides. Hidden in the café are two English airmen who don't understand a word of French. Other characters include Lt. Gruber (Guy Siner), a homosexual German tank driver; Otto Flick (Richard Gibson), the evil SS officer who is always outsmarted; and Engelbert von Smallhausen (Louis Mansi), his small sidekick. René's not the only coward in town: Captain Hans Geering (Sam Kelly) and Colonel Kurt von Strohm (Richard Marner) are constantly on the defensive, along with Captain Alberto Bertorelli (Gavin Richards, Roger Kitter) of the Italian army who has a medal for servicing Fiats. Much of the farce comes from Officer Crabtree (Arthur Bostrum), an British agent disguised as a French policeman with a poor grasp of "Zee Fronch Linguige," and from René's amorous waitresses, Mimi (Sue Hodge), Yvette (Vickie Michelle), and Maria (Francesca Gonshaw).
Kim Hartman, Kristen Cooke, Rose Hill, John D Collins, Nicholas Frankau.
Never seen many episode of this series, but what I did see I thought it was really funny. This was one of my nans favourites!!!
