Risqué René

TV Series 1982–1992 – 85 episodes. "Allo Allo!" Has been around since 1982 and is available in the USA on decent media. This particular set contains series one through series six. Each contains approximately eight episodes: "The British are Coming" starts the series and explains many things that happen later in the series. "The Fallen Madonna" with the big whatever, will set a recurring theme as Colonel Kurk von Strom has pilfered the painting for his retirement. Keep your eye on it through the series as it becomes a shell game. The basic story is that of a café owner, René; 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, and dealing with his wife and mother-in-law. Throw in some downed British airmen and some onion soup. I will not go through each 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 will say that the highlight for me in the first series was when they mistakenly fed grain laced with nitroglycerin to the chickens. 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. Too bad they ran out of steam in 1992. "Three ‘Hail Mary's and two Heil H-itler’s."
