Double entendres abound at the Cafe Rene in the French village of Nouvion as lusty lothario proprietor Rene Artois (Gorden Kaye) and his tuneless wife Edith (Carmen Silvera) aid and abet the resistance effort in their own inimitable way. Review: Endless repetition of themes, yet never boring, always hilarious - Classic Croft and Lloyd-comedy, using cliché to make fun of cliché. My favourite character is officer Crabtree, the English spy posing as a policeman who garbles his French by getting the vowels wrong, often with hilarious and titillating consequences. Repetition is a key device in the show, but surprisingly it never gets boring. Every episode you wonder what new variation on the same theme the writers have come up with. Leclerc's obvious disguises, Reneé's excuse to his 'stupid woman' for cuddling with the waitresess, what Michelle will say only once, what vowels Crabtree is going to get wrong and what hilarious word joke this will produce (mostly scatological or sexual), how the Madonna with the big boobies will slip through everyone's fingers yet again, how Herr Flick will make Gestapo ruthlessness funny this time. I tried to record every episode on dvd-RW when it was aired on tv , but I missed several episodes. Now I have them all. I like to end a day with an episode of 'Allo 'Allo to relieve stress. It helps me sleep, and not because it is boring. Review: Ridiculous Farce Done Very Well - Politically incorrect farce. And oh so funny for it. The portly middle aged, balding, coward of a café owner, who somehow is irresistible to women and a hero (reluctantly) of the resistance. He dreams of making money from the German and French customers in his café, whilst not having to help British airman escape or risking being shot by the Germans as a resistance fighter or French Resistance as a collaborator. I'm not sure anyone could really take offence on national lines, as everyone comes in for abuse from the occupying Germans, resisting and collaborating French to incompetent escaping British airmen. And even Italians in later series. There is something of a Tom Sharpe novel feel here (in fact it reminds me a little of Riotous Assembly taking the mick out of the Afrikaners, British and Zulus in apartheid South Africa). Like most long running series, I think the first few series (especially 1-3) are the best. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0179O3MXQ | | Actors | Carmen Silvera, Francesca Conshaw, Gordon Kaye, Rose Hill, Vicki Michelle | | Aspect Ratio | 4:3 - 1.33:1 | | Audio Description: | English | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,761) | | Director | David Croft, Martin Dennis, Richard Boden, Robin Carr, Susan Belbin | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0) | | Manufacturer reference | 5053083062880 | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 16 | | Producers | David Croft, John B.

The show is very much what I remember it being, and while I notice that some of the reviews focus on the poor treatment of women in this, I think that's more a sign of the times the show was written in, and that is the context that I appreciate it in. I really really like this box set. I like that it comes in a box that seals, and I like that the DVD case is all one case. However, I am not a huge fan of the fact that the DVD holding hard-plastic 'pages' are not connected to the plastic DVD case along the back. Overall I prefer this to some of the other box sets though, such as the Keeping Up Appearances box set. I am definitely satisfied with this purchase. As a side note, if what people say is true about one of the Christmas episodes being shoved on the Season 9 DVD, that will irritate me a bit (I have not gotten that far). ## Frequently Bought Together - 'allo 'allo: The Complete Series 1-9 [DVD] - Fawlty Towers - The Complete Collection (Remastered) [DVD] [1975] - Dad's Army - The Complete Collection [DVD] [1968] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49424227-allo-allo-the-complete-series-1-9-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49424227-allo-allo-the-complete-series-1-9-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
