The quiet life of René is turned upside down by the outbreak of the Second World War. So good and worse he tries to continue his old life, however, by the Germans to spawn with the occasional free drink and free "services" of his waitresses, in Exchange for hard-available articles such as paraffin wax, sugar and butter. To strengthen his position at the Germans to Colonel Von Strohm and he tips his assistant Captain Hans Geering (replaced by Alberto Bertorelli in season 4) that in the nearby castle is a famous painting, the fallen Madonna with the big cauliflower (English: The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies), painted by Van Klomp. The Colonel and the captain know the painting in stealing the secret from the Castle. Actually they should the painting just like the other valuables of Nouvion give to Hitler, but they want the painting prefer withholding so it can serve as provision for old age pension when they go after the war with. Therefore, forging them together with René a plot to the painting to hide in a hollowed-out salami in the basement of his café. Because the Colonel and the captain know in Renés need help to the painting to keep out of the hands of Hitler, they see a lot of him by the fingers.

Around the same time René reluctantly gets involved in the activities of the French resistance, that his café as a base used to two pilots downed English to smuggle back to England. René is forced to bring him otherwise threatens to the resistance because of serving Germans in his café. The resistance also installs in the bed of a secret radio Ediths mother with which René can keep contact with London. This used the aliasNighthawk (Nightjar). Officer Crabtree (played by Arthur Bostrom), an English secret agent who speaks with a heavy French accent, strengthen the resistance comes from season 2. The resistance also gets help from the forger Monsieur LeClerc, and later also of the local undertaker Monsieur Alfonse.

The situation deteriorates even more for René when two members of the Gestapo, Herr Otto Flick and Von Smallhausen, his sidekick to Nouvion come to find back the fallen Madonna and put an end to the resistance.René is soon their prime suspect. At the end of the first season he picked up and by the ruthless General Von Klinkerhoffen condemned to the firing squad . Von Strohm and Geering try to help him by the bullets from the firing squad to be replaced by the programmer, but changing the bullets such that no one more sure whether there is now shot with real or programmer. René is lucky and the programmer shot making him the incident survives. He decides to take advantage of the confusion to his death to put in scene. The rest of the series, he goes through life as his "twin brother" (which happens to be René 's called) so that he can make a new start.

All in all is René in a complex situation. Recurring themes in the series are: get in the hands of the painting (that on the strangest places is clogged, and distorted several times to the Gestapo to put on the wrong leg), the many love affairs of René, the often bizarre and far-fetched attempts of the resistance to the British pilots to smuggle back to England and the staged death of René. At this last point is also that Edith has found the will of René and, against his will, everything also no owner so he inherits is more of its own café. ==Actors, their role and role description[ Edit] == ===Café René<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ===

 * Engelbert von Smallhausen ( John Louis Mansiseries 2-9) (minion of Herr Flick)

 * Michelle Dubois (Kirsten Cooke) (leader of the Gaullist French resistance)
 * Provides access to the room himself through a window behind the café René once more if they need at one of her plans, often to the British pilots return home. Her first words are always: "Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once", probably the most famous one-liner from the series. Unlike most other women in the series has Michelle no relationship with René. She does have a time as if she loves him, but that is purely to get him involved in one of its plans. Often enough they also threatens René, so he does what she wants.


 * Denise Laroque (Moira Foot) (leader of the French Communist resistance)

 * Louise (Carole Ashby) (leader of the communist resistance end season 5)

 * Is a British undercover agent who passes for a regular French policeman, but flawed French. He creates a comic effect by ordinary words to express with other vowels . He always comes in with the café "Good moaning!" (translated: "good moaning", instead of "Good morning.") Despite his lack of French the Germans never see through his disguise. Later in the series most British spies just as bad to speak French.

 * Captain Alberto Bertorelli ( Gavin Richards, series 4-6 series 7 Roger Simon) (Italian captain without much authority)
 * He takes from season 4 the role as Assistant to Colonel Von Strohm, because an Italian Division with it will fight in the forthcoming invasion of England. Once the German soldiers "Heil Hitler" cries captain Bertorelli, invariably call "Hail Mussolini", this much to the chagrin of General Von Klinkerhoffen. Colonel Von Strohm and Helga also see him not so sit and call him behind his back to invariably "that Wop". No woman is safe for Bertorelli, and even Madame Edith ("die bjoetifoel-laaidie") can count on the admiration of Bertorelli, but especially because he in its café is out. He also has his own group of soldiers that actually more on the women pay attention to the well-being and respect of their captain. When he makes a blunder and that regularly-he always lets out the cry Whatamistakatomaka! He eventually disappears from the series from season 8, because by that time the war has left Italy.


 * Fairfax and Carstairs (series 1-7, Series 9 John d. Collins and Nicholas Frankau)
 * Two British pilots who have crashed in France. They are almost the entire series at Café René hiding. All (mostly insane and far-fetched) maps that the resistance has to get them back to England to escape invariably fail. They speak no word of French and so often have no idea what is happening. They're in the most cramped places like the closet in the room of Fanny and in the henhouse, usually in a weird disguise.They eventually escape between series 7 and 8 still, but there is never told how. In the last episode they return, after at the Allied invasion to be knocked down again.

The series was initially received negatively by critics (which among other things inappropriate found a comic series to worry about something serious like the second world war), but the ratings were very high from the beginning. Except in the United Kingdom was the series including a large success in Netherlands ( TROS, broadcast later by RTL 5 and RTL 7), Belgium (VRT), France, America and Australia.

As a result, it was necessary to be able to see every episode to follow the story properly.

The series is specifically a parody on another BBC series, Secret Army, a resistance organization that Brussels British pilots smuggling out of the country during the Second World War.

Gruber or LeClerc settled on plays. Usually they are accompanied by the singing of Edith. The music that is played in the café, does often think of film and theatre music from the 30 's of the 20th century.

In reality all the actors speak English, but with different accents to emphasize the different languages. The British in the series speak to a remarkably genteel accent, and use typically British words and phrases, such as "chinwag" ("chat"), "chaps" ("guys") and "peckish" ("hungry"). French they call "Frogs" and Germans "Jerries". Almost all characters can understand each other, but there is a language barrier between the French and the British pilots, just like between the English and Germans.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Could there be a gimmick by this language barrier built around the character of Officer Crabtree. Crabtree is a Brit who but very moderate French. To emphasize this effect he says often words incorrectly, as "Good moaning", a running gag in the series. Sometimes so fence words. Examples are: "The bummers pissed about on a dick night" instead of "The bombers passed over on a dark night", "I was pissing your coffee when I thought I'd drip in for a drunk" instead of "I was passing your cafe when I thought I'd drop in for a drink" and "Long distance dick" instead of "duck". However, this only happens if he speaks with a French accent (so the so-called French talk). If he is busy with other British is his weird pronunciation suddenly disappeared, because he then "English" speaks.
