The Return of Allo Allo (2007)

[@billwatters4833]

I am an old coffin dodger with a dicky ticker and can remember the first time it aired. Now I am confined to a chair I signed up with Brit Box and have watched the entire show again. There are 9 series but I have noticed a few episodes are missing. Allo Allo is a true gem of television production. My sincere thanks to the writers and to all the actors and production staff.

[@SuperLamarrio64DS]

I am 29 and I watched the heck out of this when I was growing up and loved it. Good luck bill, I wish you the absolute best :)

[@SunnyBeetle1922]

I’m so glad to find someone who loves the show deeply. I watched it all through my childhood in the 80’s and enjoyed watching it with my dad in later years before he sadly passed away in 2021. He would be so pleased to see it being enjoyed. He really loved this show and dads army too. Every time I watch Allo Allo, I smile and think of the good times watching it with my dad❤️❤️❤️

[@ThePierre58]

My late French mother laughed her socks off. at this series. I am very happy to see you are still dodging nasty boxes.

[@comicbossone2411]

I’m 44 and loved this show. I would sit with my nana and grandad and we’d all be laughing.

One of my favourite memories is watch my dad laughing till he was red I the face, mum was worried he was going to have a heart attack! Keep dodging that coffin.

Just brilliant. Allo Allo was one of my favourite TV comedy shows. I was born in 1955 so after WW2 but what I loved about this show is it took the pi*s out of everyone - the British, the Germans, the Italians and the French. So funny. British comedy is the absolute best. And I will never understand how the cast managed to keep straight faces with some of the lines they had to deliver. Great stuff. Thank you all. xx

[@VTuber_Central]

Wouldn't matter, in the end it doesn't change anything, time moves too fast and we all get old, i remember they did "are you being served" new series where their adventures are outside of the store, but that was over 20yrs ago i believe, hell i remember heston blumenthal had a "70s episode" for his HESTON FEAST series and the young guy on the show was already SUPER old and even that show is many years back

My favourite part is when there's dead silence for Officer Crabtree's entrance - they all know exactly what he's going to say, and they hold the applause until he's said it.

[@SuzyQ334]

The actor who plays Officer Crabtree has a young relative called Tomas Eames who plays a detective in a lovely contemporary British series called Shakespeare & Hathaway.

Allo 'Allo was a staple diet in our house growing up. It went alongside Only Fools, One foot in the Grave, Open all Hours, Dad's Army, Fawlty Towers etc etc. When it came on, it was never turned off. I fondly remember my Dad howling and crying tears laughing so much in the evening watching an episode and still to this day, even though he is now gone, any one of us will watch it and be cracking up again. One of his common catch phrases was 'Whatta mistaka t'make'. The amount of people I've met over the years who have integrated Allo 'Allo catchphrases into their vocabulary is incredible. It shows how much these classic sitcoms influence people, but in a good way. Just watching Officer Crabtree in this reunion I was laughing out loud, it's just so bloody funny. It's a comedy like Only Fools that transcends ages and generations. I'm just so glad reading the comments how many of the new generations are watching this today and getting as much enjoyment from it for the first time as we all did 30+ years ago. Just hearing the music alone is deeply nostalgic and produces bittersweet feelings. I get the same with Last of the Summer Wine, another of my dads favourites.

People might be interested to know that Richard Marner, who played Colonel Kurt Von Strohm, was actually from St Petersburg, Russia. His real name was Alexander Pavlovich Molchanoff. His family fled from Russia and eventually came to Britain where he attended Monmouth School. I taught there, obviously some time after he left! Marner's final film appearance was a cameo, playing the Russian president at the beginning of 'The Sum of all Fears'.
