Mimi, “You will never see a better episode”

"Allo Allo!" Has been around since 1982 and is available in the USA on decent media. This particular complete series four contains six episodes: Prisoners of War Camp Dance Good Staff are Hard to Find The Flying Nun The Sausages in the Trousers The Jet-Propelled Mother-in-law ------------ The basic story is about a café owner, René, who is in France during the WWII occupation. He must balance dealing with the local Germans, the Gestapo, the good Resistance, the commie Resistance, having affairs with his female help, and dealing with his wife and mother-in-law. Throw in some downed British airmen and some onion soup. I will not cover this series in detail because for those who have not seen it or if it has been a while since viewing the series, the surprise factor and the one-liners are worth discovering firsthand. I do not recall the broadcast of Series Four. However, the people and mix have changed. Maria Recamier (Pilot, Series 1-3) ends up in Switzerland, never to be seen again. We also lose Captain Hans Geering (Sam Kelly) on the way. He ends up in England for the duration. Look for him in Series Seven. Both Hans and Maria get replacements. And they work well, but it is just not the same. Watch as Mimi gives Herr Flick (Flick the Gestapo) a bottle of wine and says, “You will never drink a better bottle.” 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 outside 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) completely changed his accent. I was surprised to see Lt. Hubert Gruber (Guy Siner) in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003.)
