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 exactly on the edge between brilliance and absurdity. It's highly stylized and quirky, with actors overacting to an extreme, yet despite all this, it remains supremely funny and original. However, it's true that if the dialogues and characters were just a bit more eccentric, my rating would plummet. Overall impression: 90%. Arthur Bostrom's French, with his unforgettable lines, added an extra star to the series.
