It centres on Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, who live next door to a Jewish couple, Arny and Rosa Goldenstein.

In 1938, Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun live in Berlin, next door to a Jewish couple, Arny and Rosa Goldenstein.

[5] The Goldensteins are similarly hackneyed characters, with Arny making frequent disparaging comments about his mother-in-law and mockingly performing a Nazi salute at one point.

Arny and Eva end up leading the visiting Prime Minister in a conga line around the living room while Hitler hides the "peace for our time" agreement in the icebox.

Only the pilot was ever screened,[6] although 11 episodes were planned and eight were recorded[1] in which a story arc involved Hitler's secretive attempts to kill the Goldensteins.

[4] However, some commentators also point out the crassness was intentional, and an element of the parody – among these is David Hawkes, professor of English, who cites Heil Honey, I'm Home!

The show is one of the most controversial programmes ever to have been screened in the UK; it was listed at number 61 on Channel 4's 100 Greatest TV Moments from Hell.
