This is a 1977-1979 BBC drama series about the Belgian resistance in World War 2.
People think they know the story of France in WW2 but the Belgian story is less well known.
German passport holder Nigel Farage thinks Belgium is a non country but Belgians died in 2 wars helping Britain fight the Germans.
Perhaps my love of Belgium was sparked by watching this series when I was a spotty teenager.
It was made by the people who made the much better known Colditz.
But I find Colditz stagey and predictable compared to Secret Army.
Secret Army has subtle writing,great acting and a great what they now call a story arc.
Clifford Rose played one of the great characters in tv drama.
It is great drama but also historically accurate.
It is a 1970s production so don't expect Hollywood production values,but don't expect Hollywood simple minded plots either.
I always hated Allo Allo which was a childish parody of the worst episodes of Secret Army.
