!!! Actor: KennethConnor.

A rather incompetent Resistance operative and counterfeiter who works as a bartender at Café René. Known for his [[PaperThinDisguise Paper Thin Disguises]]. Former lover of Madame Fanny. At the end of Season 6, due to the unexpected death of Jack Haig, he is replaced by his "twin" brother Ernest played by Derek Royle who swapped places with Roger in jail after not believing that prison food was better than Edith's cooking. Unfortunately, Royle himself died at the end of the season and thus was replaced by the much younger Robin Parkinson (in old age makeup) this time with no plot explanation.

A British secret agent undercover in Nouvion posing as a Gendarme. Legendary for his atrocious French which manifests as a speech full of [[{{Malaproper}} malapropers]] and AccidentalInnuendo ("I was just pissing by..."), which somehow never raise suspicion. He often aids the Resistance, much to the chagrin of Réne and co.

* ApologeticAttacker: Prior to carrying out some unsavoury duty, such as shooting René. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Or being uncivil]].

* CampGay: But, may tie in to {{BiTheWay}}, as it is then revealed that, after the war, Gruber marries Helga and has had multiple children with her, much to Rene's surprise?

* BastardBoyfriend: To Helga, although [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys she seems to like it that way.]]

* [[HaveIMentionedIAmADwarfToday Have I Mentioned I Am In The Gestapo Today]]

* MagicPlasticSurgery: He did this in order to escape the Allies, [[TheNthDoctor explaining his new actor]].

* VillainousCrossdresser: He and Helga have the same taste in underwear (pink lingerie).

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Maria. They both were short, which It allowed the writers to continue the gag of Mimi/Maria having to get a stool to stand on in order to hug René. Partially averted, though, in that Ren&eacute wasn't all that keen on her.

* VillainousCrossDresser: He and Helga have the same taste in underwear (pink lingerie).

The wife of René. Aging and rather unattractive. Her most prominent subplot involves her singing aspirations. She fancies herself a cabaret singer and regularly performs at the Café. Her singing has a tendency to scare away people, make dogs howl and shatter glass. The customers have taken to stuffing cheese in their ears to muffle her wails. Devoted to her husband and to the Resistance. She tends to come up with her own risky plans for the Resistance. The faked death of René leaves her the legal owner of the Café. Attracting suitors of her own.

* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs

! Monsieur Alfonse
!!! Actor: Kenneth Connor.

! RAF Flight Lieutenants Fairfax and Carstairs ("the British Airmen")

* MagicPlasticSurgery: He did this in order to escape the Allies, explaining his new actor. * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He and von Smallhausen are noticeably absent from the DistantFinale. Then again, considering that the last we see of them is when they [[spoiler:mess up their escape route during the Allied invasion and burst through the wall of Café René while it's full of British soldiers]], it's safe to assume things didn't work out for them.

* PunchClockVillain: Hardly qualifies as a villain. In later seasons he effectively functions as a ReverseMole.

Leader of the Gaullist Resistance in Nouvion and its vicinity. She has a cover identity of working in the post office of the "next village over", allowing her to come and go as she pleases. She is typically dressed in a black beret and dark brown trench coat, the uniform used by most women of her organization. Michelle is a crafty, clever woman who can be relied on to come up with more and more creatively complicated plans. Unfortunatelly, even her bast plans tend to fall victim to the GambitPileup that regularly takes place in Nouvion. She demands courage and efficiency from her operatives. She can be very convincing, particularly when holding people at gunpoint. Though fiercely patriotic, Michelle is not above using some funds for personal expenses.

* BiTheWay: The episode "A Fistfull of Francs" (8.6) establishes that Michelle spends part of her nights in Crabtree's bed. The same episode establishes that Louise, leader of the Communist Resistance spends her nights in the bed of Maxine (Elizabeth Ash), her second-in-command. Supposedly they are preoccupied with "committee meetings". But their eagerness to stay alone and dress manner (Negligees) says otherwise. Michelle catches on and wistfully says: "If only our committee meetings were like that". The implication being that she would like to have that kind of "meeting" with the other Resistance girls.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He and Smallhausen are noticeably absent from the DistantFinale. Then again, considering that the last we see of them is when they [[spoiler:mess up their escape route during the Allied invasion and burst through the wall of Café René while it's full of American Commandos looking for them]], it's safe to assume things didn't work out for them.

* HollywoodToneDeaf: Supposedly Edith fails to notice how horrible her own singing is. She also fails to notice the singing talents of other characters. With several descriptions of the show simply listing her as Tone Deaf.
