The TiVo picked up a Masterpiece Theatre that I caught a bit of last night. It’s a mini-series(?) about one of the Channel Islands that got invaded by the Germans during World War II.
One of the scenes showed one of the shop keepers refusing to sell to the German soldiers (I think her husband had been killed during the invasion), and then the German commander going ballistic and forcing her to lie down on the ground while he held a gun to her head. And all I could think of was that line from that British comedy series (whose name escapes me right now) “This is a local shop for local people – there’s nothing for you here.”
You’re thinking of The League Of Gentlemen.
What’s all this shouting? We’ll have no trouble here!
