Question about a (probably French) TV series from the late 1980s
Published 16/05/2017 @ 23:46:30, By cl82
Dear members,

here's something that came to me mind recently and I would like to ask for your help. In ca. 1989, I frequently used to watch a (probably French) television series which was about the adventures of the chauffeur of a (silver?) Rolls Royce (probably a Phantom VI IIRC). Sadly, I cannot recall the name of the series after all these years. Does somebody happen to remember the series? Please let me know if that is the case. Thanks a lot in advance!

Best regards,

Christoph

Burke's Law 90s version?

Dubbed "L'Homme à la Rolls" in France.
That's all I got.

Wow, that was a quick reply, thanks a lot! Nevertheless, your first suggestion is too new while the other one is too old. As I said, I'm pretty sure it was a French series, rather light-hearted although the main character was always involved in solving crimes. Besides, I don't think the car was a Silver Cloud as I'm convinced it had double headlights although my memory might deceive me. Still, I'm certain it wasn't filmed in the States.

It must be "La belle Anglaise": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0197141/
There were 2 "seasons" - 1st one with old Rolls, 2nd one with two RRs - old and newer model.

Remember this series - I also saw it in TV in 1990 :wink:

It is indeed. Just by seeing the picture of the main character on imdb I'm 100% certain that you've found the right series. Thanks a lot, Weasel! You've made my day!

Best regards,

Christoph
