"Yes you did, you invaded Poland!"
One of the greatest lines in TV history

"Sorry, I got a bit confused 'cause everyone keeps mentioning the war"

"May we help you?" (0.29) and the surprised look on Basil's face when the Germans speak to him in English! Timeless and priceless!

"That's two egg mayonnaise, a prawn goebbels, a Hermann goring, and four colditz salads." 😂😂😂😂😂

They must have had a historian to work in all those.

Could just imagine Himmler goose stepping his way in and getting his Luger out. Classic comedy😂😂😂😂

In my job there is one war we are not allowed to talk about, and that is the Great Emu Wars.

It is time for a new episode. British tourist in a german hotel. "Don't
mention the slaves." I think the british wouldn't laugh.
