DVD Reviews of 'Allo 'Allo - The Complete Series Seven

DVD Review: British comedy at its best
Summary: 5 Stars

The seventh season of 'Allo 'Allo lives up to the promise of the first six. The hilarious misadventures of cafe owner Rene Artois and the rest of the characters - Germans, British, French, Italian - in occupied
France during WWII is not to be missed. There are the French Resistance ("Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once"), the Communist Resistance, a couple of silly British airman stranded in France and several German officers. All the girls and one guy, a German Lieutenant, are in love with Rene. The Gestapo is also represented by Herr Flick and his sidekick, both of whom walk with a limp (shades of Joseph Goebbels). Throw into the mix a host of other characters, weird disguises, improbable situation, and this is British comedy at its finest. You won't stop laughing. PBS showed this series many years ago, and I a so glad BBC has brought it out in DVD format. The last series (season 9) is due tobe released in October 2008. I can hardly wait!!

DVD Review: I love Rene`
Summary: 4 Stars

This is one of the great classic britcoms, and should be seen by all! It's hilarious. However, there are so many running jokes that you should start at season 1 or they won't make sense.

DVD Review: Encore un fois - Allo Allo
Summary: 4 Stars

Further episodes of this amusing series.
Purists may be appalled at some of the changes of cast (Lt. Bertorelli and M. LeClerc), but one at least was unavoidable (due the untimely death of Jack Haig, the actor who played LeClerc). The actor who plays Rene Artois ( Gordon Kaye) sports a rather spectacular scar on the forehead in this series, due to a tree falling on him on 25th January 1990 during the spectacular storms in the UK, but the fun carries on as usual. The whole thing is a parody of a serious BBC TV series called "Secret Army" which was all about a cafe run by a prominent member of the Resistance. Lt Hans Gering makes a welcome return as a British Intelligence Officer and even Winston Churchill makes a cameo appearance. I did hear that Germans loved this series and I imaginee that the French were probably baffled by it. Strangely enought the British, who made it, are portrayed as complete idiots (e.g. the British airmen and the dreadful French spoken by the fake Gendarme Crabtree - "Good Moaning", which shows that the British still have the endearing quality of laughing at themselves.

DVD Review: You don't have to be British...
Summary: 5 Stars

What can I say, this is a wonderful series. Funny as hell. But you need to see it from the beinging to really appreciate all of the references, to other shows, made by the actors. You don't have to be British or even like BritComs to have a laugh at this DVD. CHEERS!

DVD Review: "Shut Up! You Silly Old Bat".
Summary: 5 Stars

"Allo Allo!" Has been around since 1982 and has become available in the USA on a decent media. Many more episodes than originally aired in the USA are available.

Basic story is of a caf? owner Ren? Artois (Gorden Kaye); this is in France during the WWII German occupation. He must balance dealing with the local Germans, the Gestapo, the good Resistance, the commie Resistance, having affairs with his female help, dealing with his wife and mother-in-law.

In series seven the fun does not stop. However you see some different people and different actors playing some of the key characters. A few of the originals are left including a token appearance of Captain Hans Geering (Sam Kelly) in a surprisingly new position after a little brainwashing. As With the last series (six), one can tell that they are running out of ideas and in desperate effort to keep up the energy go a little over the deep end even for "Allo Allo." Then all of a sudden even the new substitute actors catch on and we are back in the laughs and situations. Herr Otto Flick finds a new love worthy of the Gestapo. Now I can not wait for series eight.

One nice thing about this series is that they place the name next to the actor at the end of each episode. Most of the actors are well known out side of this series. I was shocked however to find that Gestapo Herr Otto Flick (Richard Gibson) Played British Capt. Newman in Ken Follett's "The Key to Rebecca" (1985) and completely changed his accent.
