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.
