This question was one out of the box by Team Red's malik24.

Answer: 'Allo 'Allo

"'Allo 'Allo" was set in a German occupied French town during WWII and each episode saw the French resistance trying to, and usually succeeding, outwit the German forces, no matter how ridiculous the scheme. Hill, who was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company and an operatic soprano played the part of the usually bed ridden mother-in-law of the owner of the cafe frequented by the Germans. She was usually seen either drinking gin or banging her walking stick on the floor, trying to attract attention from her daughter or son-in-law below, while crying out "Will nobody 'ear the cries of a poor old woman?"
