'Allo 'Allo!


''Allo Allo!'' was a BBC television British sitcom broadcast on BBC1 from 1982 to 1992 (there was no series in 1990), comprising eighty-five episodes. Repeats have been aired as part of the ''Afternoon Classics'' on BBC2 since 27 March 2015. The story is set in a small-town café in German-occupied France during the Second World War. It is a parody of another BBC programme, the wartime drama ''Secret Army''. ''Allo, Allo!'' was created by David Croft, who also wrote the theme music, and Jeremy Lloyd. Lloyd and Croft wrote the first six series. The remaining series were written by Lloyd and Paul Adam. In 2004, ''Allo Allo!'' came 13th in ''Britain's Best Sitcom''. A reunion special, comprising new material, archive clips and specially recorded interviews, was broadcast on 28 April 2007 on BBC Two.
== Main plot ==
Set during the Second World War,''Allo Allo!'' tells the fictitious story of René Artois,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006xyt3 )〕 a café owner in the town of Nouvion, France. Military from the Axis powers have occupied the town〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.comedy.co.uk/guide/tv/allo_allo/ )〕 and stolen all of its valuable artefacts. These include a painting of ''The Fallen Madonna'' by Van Klomp (known to those who have seen it as ''The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies''). Two officers, Colonel Kurt von Strohm and Captain Hans Geering, have decided to keep the paintings for themselves after the war, and they coerce René into hiding them in his café. Hitler also wants the paintings, and sends Herr Flick of the Gestapo to the town to find them. Flick, in turn, conspires to keep them. The paintings are duplicated by a forger, get mixed up, lost, found and are put in knackwurst sausages, and hidden in the cellar of Café René.
Other valuable artefacts include a painting of the ''Cracked Vase with the big daisies by Van Gogh''; the first cuckoo clock ever made; and some silver.
At the same time, the café is being used as a safe house for two brave but clueless British airmen, Fairfax and Carstairs. René is forced to work with the Résistance, led by Michelle Dubois, who threaten to shoot him for serving Germans in his café. The far-fetched plans of the Résistance to get the airmen back to Britain repeatedly fail. These are some of the main running gags of the series. As part of these plans, the Résistance have placed a radio in the bedroom of René's mother-in-law, Madame Fanny La Fan, as this is the only room nobody enters unless they have to. This secret communication device between London and the resistance (codename ''"Nighthawk"'') is hidden under the bed, and incoming messages are signalled by light bulbs concealed in the bed-knobs – leading the elderly mother-in-law to cry ''"Ze flashing knobs!"''. René answers with "'Allo, 'allo, zis is Night'awk, are you receiving me?", hence the title of the show (''"allô"'' is the normal French way of greeting someone over a remote communication system). The Résistance is also helped by Officer Crabtree, a British spy posing as a policeman sent to France because he can speak French. However, he does not speak it very well, resulting in frequent malapropisms. For example, whenever he says "Good morning", it comes out as "Good moaning".
René is also trying to keep his affairs with his waitresses secret from his wife, Edith, who regularly sings in the café, despite being an such an appallingly bad singer (which she does not realise herself) that visitors to her café often put cheese in their ears to silence the sound. In addition, the communist resistance is plotting against René for serving Germans and for working with the Gaullist Résistance. However, the communist resistance only blow things up for money. The only reason they do not shoot René is that their leader, Denise Laroque, is in love with him, a fact he has to hide from both his wife and the waitresses, Yvette Carte-Blanche, Maria Recamier and Mimi Labonq. Furthermore, the seemingly gay German Lieutenant Gruber is also continually flirting with René and finding him in embarrassing situations. These situations are made even more humorous by the fact that René is not stereotypically attractive, is not considered a hero, and is often forced (against his will) by his wife to undertake missions and secret operations. One memorable situation occurs when Edith points a gun at René to stop him from running away to hide with his cousin; when interrupted by the five German officers, he explains that his wife had been proposing to him.
In one early episode, René is arrested and shot by a German firing squad for blowing up a railway line, on the orders of General Erich von Klinkerhoffen, a ruthless general from Berlin, but the German officers put dummy bullets in the firing squad's rifles. Although René survives, he has to spend the entire series' run posing as his own twin brother, who is also called René. René's will stipulates that the café belongs to Edith and to get Café René back – or put "his fingers back in his own till", as he puts it – René tries to convince Edith to marry him again. Meanwhile, Edith is wooed by the Italian Captain Bertorelli and Monsieur Alfonse, the undertaker who is torn between his love for Edith and his admiration for René, whom he considers a true hero of France.
These few plot devices provide the basic storyline throughout the entire series, upon which are hung classic farce set-ups, physical comedy and visual gags, amusingly ridiculous fake accents, a large amount of sexual innuendo, and a fast-paced running string of broad cultural clichés. Each episode builds on previous ones, requiring viewers to follow the series to fully understand the plot. The series revolved around individual story arcs spread across several episodes, where typically a far-fetched scheme by the Résistance to repatriate the British airmen would become intertwined with the Gestapo's attempts to recover the missing paintings and the German officers' corrupt activities, which would culminate with the three groups' plans frustrating one another and cancelling out each other's effectiveness. Usually, they end up in an even worse situation than the one in which they started. At the start of each subsequent episode, René summarises the plot to date for the audience (breaking the 4th wall); a gag based on the "As you remember..." device commonly used in serials. In reruns, some local TV stations have shuffled the episodes, making these plot synopses useful.
