French Fields

Season 3

The British family from "Fresh Fields" (1984) move to France. The episodes revolve around their adjustment to and difficulties dealing with French culture. Much humour is also derived from their maid, an elderly woman who speaks an obscure, old dialect of French that no one understands.
