Secret Army: the Complete Series 1-3 [DVD]

Devised and produced by Gerard Glaister (Colditz, The Expert, The Brothers), the award-winning BBC series SECRET ARMY is a gripping and authentic portrayal of the lives of a group of Belgian resistance members and their German oppressors during the Second World War. Often remembered merely as the inspiration for the comedy series \u2019Allo \u2019Allo!, it is high time that this excellent drama series was re-appraised on its own undoubted merits.\nApart from its superb cast and excellent plotting, SECRET ARMY's strength is its firm foundation in fact. The lead characters are based on people who really existed and many of its exciting storylines on events that actually took place. Their dramatisation is deftly executed by a dedicated production team who undoubtedly make this series one of the BBC\u2019s most unforgettable dramas.\nPrincipal Lifeline operatives include: caf\u00E9 and restaurant owner Albert Foiret (Bernard Hepton); his mistress Monique Duchamps (Angela Richards); young.
