Series 5, Episode 9 - Watch The Birdie

It is, finally, time for the Generals' Conference and the planning of the invasion of England - the resistance furnish René with another suitably ridiculous photographic device to capture their plans. But it could all go awry if Mimi kills one of the attendees before the day...

Further details

Michelle gives René an outfit in which he can conceal the camera so he can take pictures of the invasion plans. Café René is doing the catering for the Meeting of the Generals, so the stage is set for photographic intrigue.
