I have always loved the comic books of Astérix and Obélix written by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo and I enjoyed very much this story of Astérix and Obélix in Britain !!
Like other stories of Astérix and his friend Obélix, this travel of the two heroes to Britain has a good touch of suspense: the barrel with with the magic potion has been stolen and then begins a desperate run for finding the barrrel: a lot of funny adventures !!
But also the film is a pleasant caricature of the British way of life: the.lined up houses in the town, the left hand traffic, the English cooking (wild boar boiled with mint), the tepid beer , the rugby and above all the pleasant way of speaking: the use of the adjective before the substantives so Astérix speaks about the Roman patrol instead of the patrouille romaine,etc Thi film is also an historical fiction, I appreciate the story of the arrival of the tea in Britain, before the. English were drinking hot water with a cloud of milk, then appears the Phoenician merchant and his tea leaves and finally tea becomes the national drink of Britain !!
