What I want you to do first is tell me all about the twelve Frenchmen and the twelve mosquitoes.
Once upon a time, there were twelve Frenchmen called... 'Appy, Sleepy, Arrogant, Furieux, Un Chose Comme Ca, Bof and Zut Alors. And...
That's six!
Fenètre, Boulangerie...
Le Table.
Le Table, of course. And Jambon et Fromage, the twins. And they used to travel around with mosquitoes...
And what were the mosquitoes called?
Buzzy, Stingy...
It was a very, very low-rent 1950's French detective series, that involved, at some point, the extraction of a tiny amount of blood from one of the suspects.
