Country:  | 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?

Do yourself a favour, and get some funny British comedy:
Only Fools and Horses
Porridge
Fawlty Towers
Red Dwarf
Open All Hours
League of Gentlemen
There's plenty around, old and new, but Allo Allo? *shudder*

Country: | 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...
