Richard Armitage in Inspector George Gently (2007) Gently Go Man

S1E0

After his wife Isabella is killed by a hit-and-run driver, Inspector George Gently considers retiring. But when Johnny, a member of a biker gang in the North East, is also run over and Gently hears that Webster, whom he believes to have killed Isabella, is in the area, he travels North to investigate, teaming up with ambitious young sergeant John Bacchus. Aware that local inspector Setters is probably corrupt and involved in the assault on his informant China Mates, Gently realises that he and Webster are actually both investigating the same crime as Webster is Johnny's father. The two men finally meet for a confrontation with the real murderer.

*Discussing homosexual offences, Gently says the Labour Party had promised to decriminalise them if elected. Actually they never did, the 1967 Sexual Offences Act was a private members bill (not a government bill) introduced by the Earl of Arran, and almost a copy of the bill he first proposed in 1961.

Look I don’t really get the whole shoe hype thing literally just went to pick up some crocs I ordered online and i walked in on what I have to assume is an incredibly weird marketing scheme/burglary? Luckily they didn’t take my crocs guess they weren’t worth it. ( sick DBK costume tho but I don’t really get what the nerd guy is supposed to be)

Gorden Kaye, Sam Kelly, and Richard Marner in 'Allo 'Allo! (1982) The British Are Coming

S1E0

World War II is raging, but in the French village of Nouvion, café owner René Artois wants only a quiet life, plus some slap and tickle with his waitress Yvette behind his sour wife Edith's back. To this end, he keeps in with two German officers who are regular café patrons, Kurt von Strohm and Hans Geering. He is therefore alarmed when Michelle of the Resistance declares his house a safe house for two British airmen who have been shot down and who don't speak a word of French. He is also to host Roger Leclerc, a forger and old flame of his mother-in-law Fanny, who was sprung from jail by the Resistance but, due to a misunderstanding, mistakes Hubert Gruber, a German officer who turns out to be gay and fancies René, for the forger. Geering and von Strohm discover the hidden British airmen, but when Herr Otto Flick of the Gestapo arrives, they agree to help. This is because Flick is after a favourite painting of Hitler's, "The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies," which they wish to keep for themselves. To this end, they give their uniforms to the escaping airmen.

*Although she only worked on the pilot, Shelagh Lawson's design for the Café set the tone for the entire series and was only slightly tweaked by the production designers that took over from her in later series. Lawson had a polystyrene brick window made for the scene in which the Resistance breaks Monsieur Leclerc out of prison. After filming, she took the window home with her and mounted it on her garden wall window, so that every time she looked out of her kitchen window, she faced a prison window.
