Excellent! March 15, 2005

Life is hard in Nazi-occupied France, especially for one Rene Artois (played by Gorden Kaye). As if keeping two mistresses secret from his wife weren't enough, the local German commandant wants him to hide a priceless painting, the DeGaulle resistance wants him to hide two downed British airmen, the communist resistance wants him shot as a collaborator, and there's a ruthless Gestapo agent who wants to know just what he is up to. Can Rene juggle all of these conflicting designs on him and at the same time keep his sanity and his life? Well...possibly. pI must admit that I had never seen `Allo `Allo before my wife bought me this DVD set, but I was quite pleasantly surprised by it. The ensemble of actors does an excellent job of playing this lively group of wacky people, none of whom are playing with a full deck. The jokes come fast and furious in this farce, and each show is actually better than the last. (I can't wait until the second season becomes available!) pNow, on the downside, there is a certain amount of adult situations involved, with Rene trading his waitresses' sexual favors for supplies for his restaurant, for example. But, overall it is not too bad, and can be ignored. So, let me just say that I loved this DVD set, and I recommend it to anyone who likes a good comedy, especially a good British comedy! pIncase you are interested, the episodes on this DVD set are: pThe British Are Coming - Pilot (30 December 1982) - When the Resistance comes to Rene to hide a pair of downed British airmen, and the local German commandant some to him to hide a valuable stolen painting, his juggling act begin. pThe Fallen Madonna - Series 1, episode 1 (14 September 1984) - When the local Gestapo agent demands the missing painting, Rene convinces the Colonel and his aide-de-camp to loan their uniforms to the pair of British airmen, so that they can get the painting to England and get a forged copy to hand over. What can possibly go wrong? Quite a lot, actually. pPigeon Post - Series 1, episode 2 (21 September 1984) - The Colonel and his aide are now uniformless, and must disguise themselves as onion sellers, but when they are spotted by the Gestapo man, they must think quick! pSaville Row to the Rescue - Series 1, episode 3 (28 September 1984) - Rene and company can now meet an airplane from London and get the forged painting and replacement uniforms. But, nothing can go smoothly for this unlucky troop. pThe Execution - Series 1, episode 4 (5 October 1984) - When a side trip to blow up a railroad line goes wrong, Rene and company wind up in a German jail. How embarrassing for the Colonel! And, how unlucky for Rene! pThe Funeral - Series 1, episode 5 (12 October 1984) - Having survived his execution, Rene must now pass himself off as his own twin brother. Worse, the Gestapo will be watching his funeral, and his casket is full of explosives! pReds Nick Colonel - Series 1, episode 6 (19 October 1984) - To avenge Rene's "death" the communist resistance kidnap the Colonel and his aide, and want Rene to shoot them. Worse, the Gestapo wants to know where the Colonel is, and are questioning the inhabitants of the restaurant. pThe Dance of the Hitler Youth - Series 1, episode 7 (26 October 1984) - It is time for the German's annual celebration of the burning of the Reichstag, and now is a perfect time for Rene to steal the painting from Gestapo headquarters. Wow, things are getting complicated now!

"Allo Allo!" Has been around since 1982 and has just recently become available in the USA on a decent media. This particular complete series one contains eight episodes: br"The British are Coming" starts the series and explains many things that happen later in the series. br"The Fallen Madonna" with the big whatever. Will set a reoccurring theme as Colonel Kurk von Strom has pilfered the painting for his retirement. Keep you eye on it through the series as it becomes a shell game.p------------brBasic story is of a cafe owner Rene; this 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, dealing with his wife and mother-in-law. Throw in some downed British airmen and some onion soup. brI will not go though this series in detail because for those that have not seen it or if it has been while since viewing the series, the surprise factor and the one liners are worth discovering first hand. brI will say that the highlight for me was when they mistakenly fed grain laced with nitro glycerin to the chickens. brOne 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. brI hope the will release the others "Three Hail Mary's and two Heil Hitler's."
