Cerrertonia 21 Feb 4:11pm, 21 Feb 2024 20,585 posts	0 Cerrertonia I once had a conversation with a drunk Norwegian, who told me that Allo Allo was a work of genius "the thing about you British is, you can laugh about the war. No-one else in Europe can do this." I didn't stick around to find out whether he still had that opinion when sober.
GregP 21 Feb 4:38pm, 21 Feb 2024 150,846 posts	0 GregP Allo Allo was a staple of Swedish telly when I was there (English with subtitles). Second only in popularity to Beer, Women and Bricks - or Auf Wiedersehen, Pet as it's more commonly known.
Oscar the Grouch 21 Feb 6:33pm, 21 Feb 2024 7,311 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch Beer, women and bricks was an excellent programme, albeit of its time. At least, that's how I recall it.

JamieKai chameleon 21 Feb 6:51pm, 21 Feb 2024 18,357 posts	0 JamieKai chameleon I think it's pretty spot on, especially in the characterisation of the idiot Brits. Still funny now, far more so than many of its contemporaries.

GlennR 21 Feb 7:51pm, 21 Feb 2024 74,578 posts	0 GlennR Last time I lived in Moscow I watched the entire series of 'Allo 'Allo, dubbed into Russian. They even tried to get the accents right.

Ocelot Spleens 1 Mar 5:28pm, 1 Mar 2024 38,727 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens Katherine Ryan, or is that not a secret?
