British sitcom television series created by David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd, and produced by the BBC from 1982 to 1992. After series six, in 1989, Croft left the show to be replaced by Paul Adam, who co-wrote the show in series 7-9 (1991-92). The series was a parody of BBC wartime drama Secret Army and focuses on the life of a French café owner in the town of Nouvion, during the German occupation of France in World War II, in which he deals with problems from a dishonest German officer, local French Resistance, the handling of a stolen painting and a pair of trapped British airmen, all while concealing from his wife the affairs he is having with his waitresses.
