I’m going to watch the celebration program.
Will it have stood the test of time?

Which channel, please, Mollygo?

Allo Allo was a classic sitcom that poked fun at everyone and was a send up of Secret Army. I can remember watching re runs a couple of years ago and I still laughed a lot at the characters.

Ohh, thank you for jogging my memory regarding this fabluous, silly yet utterly brilliant programme. I loved all the darft characters. We often to resort to copying the silly accents in our house, I don't know what the neighbours think!

I often say " good moaning" to my family. Or" it is I, leclerk". I think it was a parody of Secret Army as there are many similarities.

We have been watching repeats recently as funny as ever, as was Dads Army, the French really hated Allo Allo

Oh sorry 😁 you’re right of course.
Allo Allo had a policeman under cover who couldn’t speak French properly and always said Good Moaning!

Eet eez I, Leclerc was a great source of amusement for DC when we were holidaying in France.

Grandmabatty - We often do the same and say, "Good moaning" and "It is I, Le Clerc." And the ongoing joke that Rene a middle aged portly man was this sex god that no woman could resist. Brilliant, happy times.

Remember the two jolly British airmen under the Grandmere’s bed?

Mollygo Sun 26-Oct-25 19:23:49

And Mimi Labonc

Oreo Sun 26-Oct-25 19:26:35

Was Mimi the waitress that Renee was always snogging?

pably15 Sun 26-Oct-25 19:30:31

and a program you could watch with your family, no sex or swearing....I love these oldies

Grandmabatty Sun 26-Oct-25 19:34:15

There was a huge amount of double entendres though! As well as references to 'The Madonna with the big boobies' and the German secretary whipping off her coat to reveal sexy underwear!

Allira Sun 26-Oct-25 20:07:27

I missed a lot because I was just pissing by the door!

Skydancer Sun 26-Oct-25 20:17:03

I never thought it at all funny.

Edith's singing was so bad it was hilarious.
