| British TV program question I used to watch this great British comedy TV program years ago on PBS. I can't remember its name but I am hoping someone else here will. It was in WW2, France and the main people ran this bar or hotel on France. German troops would come into it and it was a very very funny show. Anyone know of it or remember its name?

| I'm a sucker for British comedy. Beats American comedy virtually any day.

 | True there are few American shows that are as good as British ones. I like 'Allo 'Allo but as Clave said there are funnier ones but it is still in my top 10 British comedies...

| " Last of the Summer Wine" and "Keeping Up Appearances" come to mind as better.
