Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

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.

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.

Beer, women and bricks was an excellent programme, albeit of its time. At least, that's how I recall it.

I lived with a German student who was totally aghast that we could laugh at Halo Halo, she thought we were terrible.

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.

The French and Germans in it weren't exactly smart

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.

If he's not already on it, can we please add Dan Ackroyd to the list of people who are secretly Canadian?
