Search - 'Allo 'Allo!: The Complete Series Three on DVD

A little skimpy on the episodes

"This 2 DVD set is of course, as funny as I remember the TV show being. However the second DVD contains only 2 shows and the rest of it is a chat show from England which discusses the pros and cons of trivialzing the war years with comic French resistance workers and Gestapo officers etc. Interesting but you would only want to see it one time. There are also trailers for other DVD's that they want you to buy filling up space on the DVD. So I think that the set is a bit of rip off considering that the cost is almost $40 with tax for Canadians."

The Funniest show I have seen

"I first watched Allo Allo in 1996, and I was completely hooked onto it. It has the most creative and novel concept I have seen in a TV show, and the humour can extract some good belly laughs from viewers. I have bought all 3 seasons on DVD and am hoping that BBC releases the remaining 6 seasons too!
Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once...
PLEASE BBC! Don't keep the fans waiting!!!"

British Comedy at it's finest

"Allo Allo is one the greats in British comedy. It is classic and like the best of British it is funny without vulgarity. The story line is based around a French restaurant owner and his exploits with the resistance (who will only say anything once, inside joke if you purchase) and the Germans occupying the French town. Renee (the restaurant owner) has a wife that cannot sing worth two pence (pronounced tuppence) but believes she is a world class singer. His two bar girls are madly in love with him. A german officer (male) also believes Renee is so charming and irresistable. Top that off with a Mother in law bedridden with a sex drive of a nineteen year old, two British airmen trying to escape from France with the help of a bungling French resistance, a British spy posing as a French policemen who cannot pronounce or speak proper French (everything is spoken in English with a French accent to symbolize French). Finally a German commandant in charge of the town trying to hide stolen paintings from Hitler in order to pay for his retirement and a Natzi with a love for wearing womens clothing not to mention his attraction to Helga the Commandants secretary. All in all it is great classic British comedy, I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the greats like Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, Open All Hours, Dad's Army and Black Adder. Watch for appearances by Kenneth Connor from the Carry On movies. Purchase and enjoy series one and two also, Jim Kindlon"

Non stop comedy

"Present day writers should take lessons from this series...humor does not have to be crude and X-rated to be funny. I enjoyed the series when it was on TV on PBS and now again with our teenage children. Cannot wait for the next series!"
