as i browse over the internet i'm racing throu this tv series, which
im finding amusing but highly tautological, just like sex, when it
comes to poor little rené rejecting women in the sense of rené what
are you doing with that woman/ you stupid woman... i find the nazi
couple's sexual antics considerably amusing too.. but all a bit too
repetitive... ermm... thou lets not forget that brit bloke that cant
speak french, he creates a world unto his own of linguistically
sexually connoted pronounced french that goes a la par with something
from the 80s that looks like its from the 70s perhaps cuz it talks
bout the 40s perhaps cuz it has british men in it as leads, known the
brits to be not as enthusiastic as their women for ****ing.. the
thin blue line or brief encounter (or mrs miniver) of course till the
latest revolution of the last 30 years that's brought out drug addled
sex incentivating shows that would make oliver stone's talk radio
proud and left eric rohmer or jacques rozier, the only thing to turn
any sane lad on, something for the antique show in an era of paranoid
solipsistic (500 days of summer) rereadings of the graduate, paranoid
preggie (away we go) and paranoid crap a la sex and the city, greek or
entourage

Pardon? Do you know when that was made?
Besides, it was meant to be that way, that was the whole point of the
humour.

Well, yes, I agree it was mid to late eighties IIRC. But
for someone who is potentially not a first language speaker
of English (or, yes, a troll) to be fluent in Roman alphabetic
numbers?

Then again it's a while since I saw the credits. Did they
have an MCMX..... whatever for it or was it copyrighted
in Arabic?

I caught this once on PBS many years ago. Interesting way to handle
everyone speaking languages, but a bit confusing sometimes.

Only when dubbed into Swahili.

You need to 'get it' with the accents really, its hard to explain, but I
think it has a lot to do with the way the British do not do languages, they
just shout louder.


I blame Peter Sellars myself, he started the badly pronounced English humour
so to speak.

Your not going to make a Minky out of me...

It's now time for healing, and for fixing the damage the Democrats did

The show was actually a broad parody of a serious
1970's BBC drama called "Secret Army", in which the
situation (Belgian cafe-owner hiding escaping
shot-down airmen while appearing to collaborate with
local occupation forces) and many of the characters
were re-drawn in the traditions of British stage
farce. The many references to the drama would have
been easily understood by British viewers, but might
have passed over the heads of foreign audiences, who
presumably just laughed at the comedy. The writers
had previously had great success with other WWII-based
comedies which made fun of the British at war, mocking
many of the myths and manners of the period
(especially as portrayed in films such as those
mentioned by the OP), and perhaps were able to broaden
the situation to create a show of much wider appeal,
even to those who'd never seen the drama it spoofed.
Even so, the OP can be forgiven for not "getting" the
show's satirical (and subversive) intent.

In a further twist, the show enjoyed further success
on the theatre stage in the 1990s, returning to the
roots of the tradition on which it was based.

And indeed the 1980s. Think my parents took me to see it in 1986!
