    And so begins one of the best British sitcoms ever. We meet René Artois, a "brave" man who is forced to work for The Resistance and help the Germans at the same time. His wife Edith doesn't know how to sing and doesn't suspect that her husband is having an affair with their waitresses. A combination of funny characters that will become legends and the World War II will bring us a lot of laughs and reasons to spend some time in front of TV. There wasn't even one aspect of the show that I hated. I loved every scene with either characters-the dominating Gestapo, the sexy Helga, confused German officers, scared René, slutty waitresses and other. I'm looking forward to the future episodes.

    This amazing show gets off to a typical start, most of the main aspects of the show are introduced. The clueless airmen, Michelle with crazy plans which she says only once, The dealings with the germans which both sides want kept under wraps, the threat of being exposed by Herr Flick of the gestapo. They ever hint at the first signs of romance between Helga and Flick. Rene gets thrown in to deep trouble. Everything seems to conspire against him and thats the charm of the show, the inevitability of the there being rubbish plans bound to go wrong and that it works so well is the strength of the show.
