|
| | | The Classic BBC Comedy Series from Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft.
Features: DVD
Poor Rene. His only desire is for a peaceful life in his quiet safe in Nouvion, France. The only difficult decision he wishes to make is which waitress to sneak off to the broom closet with for a quick cuddle. But ever since the war started, nothing is simple. As if it wasn't bad enough to be shot dead by the Germans, now the resistance wants to shoot him also and he must flee to, of all places, England! But first, he must rescue his mother-in-law, who was last seen in her bed with Leclerc attached to a hot air balloon heading due south at 500 feet, and he must also smuggle food to British airmen, who have gotten themselves stuck down a drain in the middle of town square, all while attempting to evade the deadly singing voice of his wife Edith! Will this war never end?This two disc collection includes all 11 episodes from The Complete Series Seven of 'Allo 'Allo!
"...fun farce, well nigh impossible to dislike." David Annandale, UpcomingDiscs.com
"...a great original premise, a wonderful cast and several hilarious ideas over the years." Stefan Hedmark, The MovieHamlet
"A little bit of Hogan's Heroes, a little bit of The Pink Pather and lots of Abbott and Costello--Allo Allo! is a guilty pleasure." Cynthia Boris, DVD Verdict
"...[combining] the manic farce and light satire of [Are You Being Served? and The Benny Hill Show]...it will keep you giggling from beginning to end." John Floyd, DVD Verdict
"...for those viewers who treasure anything British, from Monty Python to Are You Being Served?, to The Royle Family." Paul Mavis, DVD Talk
Editor's Note
The hit British comedy returns in all its bawdy glory with this complete collection of episodes from the seventh season. Rene (Gorden Kaye) is constantly beleaguered by problems, most of them caused by his overbearing wife. A botched attempt at getting rid of her by faking his own death leads his troublesome spouse to take over the reins of Rene's cafe, which he leaves to her in his will. Returning as his identical twin brother, he has to renege on his agreement to marry his shapely waitresses Yvette (Vicki Michelle) and Maria (Francesca Gonshaw), and attempt to win back the heart of his former wife in order to regain control of his cafe! Meanwhile, the Second World War rages on around Rene and the cast of oddballs, but this seems to be the least of their problems in this riotously funny show.
