‘Allo ‘Allo! – Series 8 & 9 DVD Comedy (2008) Gorden Kaye Quality Guaranteed

All 13 episodes from the final two seasons of the popular BBC sitcom set in occupied France during the Second World War. In this series, Yvette (Vicki Michelle) tells Rene (Gordon Kaye) she’s pregnant, Gruber (Guy Siner) and Von Strohm (Richard Marner) are held captive by the resistance, and the allies finally reach Nouvion. Series eight episodes comprise: ‘Arousing Suspicions’, ‘A Woman Never Lies’, ‘Hitler’s Last Heil’, ‘Awful Wedded Wife’, ‘Firing Squashed’, ‘A Fishful of Francs’ and ‘A Swan Song’. Series nine episodes comprise: ‘Gone With the Windmill’, ‘A Tour de France’, ‘Dead Man Marching’, ‘Tarts and Flickers’, ‘A Fishy Send-Off’ and ‘A Winkle in Time’.
By the time these final two series of Allo Allo came around, even the most ardent fan of the show would have to concede that it had had its day. Many of the original cast had moved on, and even the original Herr Fleck, as played by Richard Gibson, had been replaced by the ninth series.
However, in hindsight, these last two series still have quite a bit to offer. Running to a combined thirteen episodes, and set a couple of years after the events of series seven, it finds Allo Allo finally moving the British airmen on, but still gives lots of space for Gorden Kaye as Rene and Carmen Silvera as Edith to shine. With the supporting cast too firing on all cylinders, there are enough laughs to patch over the weak spots.
Furthermore, the end of series nine does also give Allo Allo something that many sitcoms of the era never had the chance of: an ending. It gives some nice closure to one of the best sitcoms Britain produced in the 1980s and early 90s, and rounds the show off neatly. Thus, while these two series arent vintage Allo Allo, they do contain any episodes that any fan of the show simply wont want to miss. –Jon Foster
