Meet Rene, the most wanted man in occupied France. Women want his body. The Resistance want his brain. And the Nazis want his sausage. In a small cafe in Nouvion, France, this harassed proprietor is having a difficult war. With the German Army in residence at the bar, Rene is risking his neck to aid the Resistance by hiding two British airmen and a radio transmitter upstairs. As if this wasn't enough, Rene has also got involved in hiding a priceless painting in a garlic sausage, which even now is being sniffed out by the Gestapo. But Rene's real problem is his wife, Edith, and what she will do to him when she finds out about his affairs with two sexy waitresses! (official distributor synopsis)

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.

“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!"
