Believe it or not, it's already been on Brit TV (it was about the only thing worth watching over Christmas) and been repeated a couple of times on one of the BBC's digital satellite channels. It's perfectly easy to follow without knowing a word of French (but if you've got a basic schoolchild level of knowledge of the language you'll be able to pick up a lot of what little is said/written).
It's certainly worth watching, but don't necessarily expect to find it full of belly laughs.
It's also due out on DVD on 17th Feb (at least in R2). See e.g.
