C'est la Legion

Episode 2 of 6

The posties organise a party, but end up in North Africa with a Hollywood star. With Alistair McGowan. From November 1992.

It's very important to remember that the French Foreign Legion is a ruthless and violent fighting unit.

So if Brian, Derek and Sue find themselves fighting the Tuareg in a fort in Africa, then they deserve our admiration!

And anyway, they only joined by mistake.

More surreal escapades of a trio of 'posties'.

Written by and starring Ben Miller.

Mr Tippett ...... Alastair McGowan
Mr Tilbury ...... Jim Barclay

Music by Murray Gold

Producer: Gareth Edwards
