C'est la Legion

BBC Radio 4 Extra - The Young Postmen, C'est la Legion

The posties organise a party, but end up in North Africa with a Hollywood star.

The posties organise a party, but end up in North Africa with a Hollywood star. With Alistair McGowan. From November 1992.

It's very important to remember that the French Foreign Legion is a ruthless and violent fighting unit, so if Brian, Derek and Sue find themselves fighting the Tuareg in a fort in Africa then they deserve our admiration. 

And anyway, they only joined by mistake.

More surreal escapades of a trio of 'posties'.

Written by and starring Ben Miller.
