Much-loved BBC sitcom set in occupied France during the Second World War. Double entendres abound at the Cafe Rene in the French village of Nouvion as lusty lothario proprietor Rene Artois (Gorden Kaye) and his tuneless wife Edith (Carmen Silvera) aid and abet the resistance effort in their own inimitable way.

“Listen very carefully, I shall say zis only once." Crabtree and LeClerc – two unforgettable little characters together with many more unforgettable little characters in unforgettable scenes in an unforgettable sitcom. Simply an unforgettable experience which was unfortunately harmed by the fact that the authors didn’t know when to stop and the last four series are already rather forgettable. Unfortunately it becomes the same thing over and over. “It’s me, LeClerc!"

This British endeavor teeters precisely on the edge between genius and awkwardness. It is highly stylized, eccentric, and the actors overact to the point of catastrophe, but despite all this, it is highly amusing and original. It is true, however, that if the dialogue and characters were just a tiny bit more eccentric, I would rate it much lower. The series greatly benefits from excellent dubbing, which is no longer a given these days. The individual voices fit the actors' faces perfectly. Overall impression: 90%. Arthur Bostrom's French with his unforgettable catchphrases added one more star to the series.
