Hale and Pace - Stupid Nazi Guard

[@Shindai]

I miss Hale and Pace, it's so hard to get farce right but they always found just the right balance between absolute stupidity (ridiculousness) and tone with great writing that made it work so beautifully well :) Not to mention the sheer talent involved in their musical numbers. Brilliant telly to grow up with.

Brilliant comedy. Grew up with it! The PC brigade would never allow it to be made now in case it offended someone. Just watching that clip now has caused me great upset and mentally scarred me for life!

Well said, Daniel. (sorry for being 4 years late with that comment)

[@holthrain3985]

I know nobody asked, but I localized the shooting location : 6 Rue de la Gare, 17600 Pisany, France The building is a train station built in the 1910s with an Art Déco inspirations, now all bricked up to safeguard it but it sadly means it is currently not used nor maintained. The plans were used to build 5 same building/stations on the line, I'll let the adresses in this comment in the event someone somewhere somewhen has its curiosity peaked : 46 Rue de la Gare, 17460 Varzay 1 Route de Royan, 17600 Saint-Romain-de-Benet 1 La Gare, 17100 Le Douhet 16 Rue de la Gare, 17770 Saint-Hilaire-de-Villefranche La Gare, 17400 Asnières-la-Giraud I'm sure it is the Pisany station and not any other thanks to the house seen in the background at 1:52 . Cheers

I hadn't seen this before. It reminded me of "Allo Allo" where they basically took the pi$$ out of national stereotypes of Germans, British, French and Italians without offending any of them. Everybody had a laugh at everyone's expense including their own.

Woah! Is that also a young Stephen Frey? You must excuse me for having no idea about this show! I'm American but I LOVE British comedy! For once, KZbin's recommendations nailed it for me. I'm going to now look further into this show!

[@28russ]

They're bloody funny mate. Grew up watchin em in Aus. Get it inta ya. There's heaps of good old Brit comedy out there. And no I don't think that is Stephen Fry although he does have some resemblance. Not sure he it is but he looks familiar. Checkout "a bit of Fry and Laurie" if you like Stephen Fry. I think he was also on 'It's not the 9 o'clock news" I know he was a writer on it at least and it's worth a watch if you like old brit sketch comedy. And of course he's brilliant as Melchett in Blackadder if you haven't already seen it. :-)

[@markboz3366]

I was thinking it was Angus Deayton. I was also getting him mixed up with Alistair McGowan. So I'd like to say B: Alistair McGowan, final answer.

[@28russ]

@@markboz3366 Yeah, McGowan looks about right. I'm bloody sure it's not Fry anyway..

[@kraahldarkcorpse9776]

@@28russ the resemblance is pretty uncanny. I loved the series with Fry and Laurie. Back to Hale and Pace, I'm onto season 6. These guys were great! I'd love to find a region-free DVD of the series, but I'm glad to know most episodes are on KZbin

[@louhartin4483]

Who would’ve thought that after the war that German son would migrate to England going to be one of the stars of Hale and Pace

[@mace8873]

However hilarious this is, the Brits would probably be better off leaving him alive, I mean, his replacement could be somewhat competent. That's one of the reasons SOE didn't attempt to assassinate Hitler, some people in the British government were concerned the Germans might replace him with someone who actually knew what he was doing.

[@Mustardonmyjeans]

Where to start...

[@USSManhattan]

I've been trying to remember this for twenty years, since I saw it as a ten year old on PBS. Funny thing, I remembered it as a WWI era sketch, but I remembered the rest as it was (really stupid guard, the truck being full, and the other soldier being a Brit that killed the idiot).

[@anonov1]

"Duvet, duvet ." "Eh? " " Duck down !".

I feel the gunshot at the end ruined the ending... wasn't a necessary part... just that guy saying what he said should be enough. that's why hale and pace were never really the best they could be... just a tad too much try hard.

Grisfettot - I agree totally! :D This is just a sketch but always the amateur historians come out of the woodwork on these comment sections. "Duvet duvet" "Duck Down". It's a lame pun but somehow fitting. And Isokkesu, that's kind of the point. Comedy that you can just sit back and laugh with, not taking it too seriously. I love it.

[@OneBigRetard]

@eisma002 Doesn't really count. By jet most people understand that to mean a turbine jet. Coanda was a genius and deserves praise, but what he did was not something that beat Whittle. It was different. Also, it crashed! Also, he wasn't a froggie.
