Good Moaning France!: Officer Crabtree's Fronch Phrose Berk

A favourite character from BBC TV sitcom 'Allo 'Allo!, undercover British agent and head of Nouvion Police, Officer Crabtree, has usually sought to remain undercover if not exactly invisible-which befits his secret agent roots masquerading as a 'poloceman'. In this delightful book, his self-taught yet masterly grasp of 'Fronch' speaks for itself as it falls under the spotlight as never before. Illustrated by John Cooper and ideal for travellers and fans of `Allo `Allo! alike, Good Moaning France! is a wake-up call for anyone conceited enough to think they are competent in French (or English or any other language for that matter). With readers' questions answered in 'Ask Crabtree', examples from Crabtree's 'poloce newtberks' and a most unhelpful 'Undex'. With a Foreword by music legend Rick Wakeman and permission of the estates of 'Allo 'Allo! screenwriters David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd this is the perfect book for anyone crossing or travelling beneath the Channel to France.
