And then there's the dreadful teenager Goudurix, who says everything dreadful British (and I suppose French) teenagers say and do. The script is very good - there's all the legionnaires' comments on illegal immigrants (and the satirised illegal immigrant himself is a joy),not to mention Caesar's claptrap about civilising the barbarians.

I'm British, and I absolutely loved all the jokes about my home country, including the music, which is sometimes authentic and sometimes a sort of satire on British patriotic tunes. I was so shocked by the negative reviews of this film on IMDb that I signed up specially to praise it. Unfortunately, nothing ever goes quite to plan. After all, the voyage seems to offer an excellent opportunity for completing the young man's education. Astérix and Obélix will accompany him back to Britain - as will Goudurix.
