French & Saunders Carmen

Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French as supernumeraries in the opera Carmen.

[@daveross3642]

I always love when they do extras/workers/supernumeraries. The old women doing the live sport report typing kills me every time. When they pull out the cucumber sandwiches.. :-)

I'm a G&S chorister and I can confirm that this is what we do to draw attention to ourselves.

[@louisegellersoprano]

Dawn French has actually been in an opera now! "La Fille du Regiment" at the royal opera house!! haha!!

[@phantomunmasked]

I think it's so cute that Jennifer's sweeping; seems to be a favourite activity of hers, as she says in a few interviews. :D

[@Singinfreddie]

[@oyaboy1978]

[@marktwoone]

" I love your bodice."

[@JoseWiiSantos]

[@fuzzypeachmonkey]

"Madame le bebe est merde!" rofl
They're like the extras from hell, lol.

[@DinoAgent69]

"le bebe est merde"
HAhahahahaha

[@jeffeastwood15]

What's your favorite skit with these 2 characters? Mine would be when they are extras on Titanic and when they are extras on the Scorsese film.

[@19Edurne]

Actually the exact translation of "le bébé est merde" is "the baby is shit" and that sound quite strange in french. But I love them even when slaughter french language ! Long live F&S !

[@Zizzani]

:O Oh my giddy giddy GIDDY aunt! That singer is my MUM!!!

[@leananshae]

It's actually even funnier than that... she's speaking French, not Spanish: "Madame le bebe est merde", or "M'am the baby is shit". LOL

[@francescaruby1150]
