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 Many of the original cast had moved on, and even the original Herr Fleck, as played by Richard Gibson, had been replaced by the ninth series.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 aren’t vintage ’Allo ‘Allo, they do contain any episodes that any fan of the show simply won’t want to miss. --Jon Foster

I've been enjoying re-watching this series so much!! The wacky humour and cheeky charm makes it an absolute delight and I've eagerly got stuck into this final collection of episodes from 1992 (can it really be that long ago?! Suddenly feeling very old!)
I wanted to point out that the episodes are presented in the WRONG ORDER here. The Christmas Special from 1991 should be at the beginning of disc 1 rather than at the end of disc 3, as this completely mucks up the continuity. So to repeat (and I shall say this only once) - WATCH THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL on disc 3 before you start watching series 8!
Enjoy!

For a change we've only had a few months between this release and the last, and as always it is great to catch up with the Allo Allo gang.
Two years have passed since the last series took place and many things have changed, including the loss of Captain Bertirolli and the two British Airmen. All other characters remain, apart from Richard Gibson (Herr Flick) who steps down at the end of series 8. David Janson steps into his shoes in series 9 and does a good job.
These are the last two series of Allo, Allo and maybe they aren't as good as some of the early ones, but believe me, there are still plenty of laughs.
These laugh out loudmoments usually involve Richard Gibson or the other Germans. Rene again finds himself torn between the Germans, the Resistance, the communist ressitance and his wife. It's such a hard life!
This comedy is still much better than modern comedies and that's for certain. It's a must see for fans of the series and is very enjoyable to see the Allo, Allo cast acting together.
The only other real 'nit pick' is the fact that the 1991 Christmas Special that follows on from the last DVD release is on the last disc after series 9. This is very unusual since every other episode has been in the right order for every previous Allo Allo release.
It is also a crying shame that there are no extra's on the DVD, with both The Best of Allo, Allo (1994) and the Return of Allo, Allo (2007) not included.
All together there are 14 episodes including the 45 min 1991 Christmas Special. Still plenty of laughs, but would be even more better with some extras. Reccomended for fans of the series, but if you don't own an Allo, Allo DVD, it's far better to start the story at the beginning, but even so, this is very addictive!
5 star comedy, 3 star release!

As usual Universal Playback have excelled themselves. The usual cheap and tacky packaging (why not just sling the discs in a plastic bag and have done with it). The DVD production shows no care or interest except to extract money from customers. Menus are poor with a repeating clip of music that is so short it will drive you to drink if you don't press something quickly. To add insult to injury, as has already been pointed out, they put the episodes in the wrong order. You have to watch episode 3 on disc 3 before playing disc 1. It isn't as though they didn't know this as they printed the original broadcast dates on the back of the 'packaging'.
As usual a classic BBC series abused and chucked into the market place without any sort of enhancement or even decent menus. It has to be said Allo Allo staggered a bit at the end of the run but I think these final episodes did pick up a little again.
The only thing to be grateful for is that at least, for once, they finished the release of this series. There are too many incomplete series in the UP catalogue. Shame on you.

As the last of this hilarious series draws to a close it starts to become obvious
General von Klinkerhoffen Michelle And rene are dropping hints all through the last series.
Having said that this still has it's funny moments. No doubt if you have bought the rest of the series you will buy this one to, if you are thinking of buying this before the rest you will wonder what it's all about and lose interest, so don't buy it till you buy all the rest and play them in sequence from the very first episode it's the only way to appreciate the humour and innuendo's this situation comedy produces.
Talking of watching in sequence play have made a mistake in my view A Bun in the Oven should be at the beginning of disk one not at the end of disk three it continues on from series seven if you are not aware of this you tend to lose track
will rene eventually elope with Yvette,
will the fallen Madonna with the big boobies ever be found and sold,
Will officer Crabtree ever learn true French
Watch and find out.
To wind up this will always make me laugh and I will look forward to watching the lot in sequence over and over again.

I know that some people say that David Croft let his sitcoms run for too long & that they became stale , predictable etc but if those critics had been listened to then future generations would have missed out ! People now & in the future would have had less Dad's Army,less Allo Allo !, Less It Ain't Half Hot Mum and fewer Hi de Hi episodes to buy from that great on-line retailer Amazon at a low price.
The banter etc in Seasons Eight & Nine still makes one laugh such is the high quality of the writing & acting. I love the scenes between Herr Flick and his sidekick and the 'stupid woman' comic moments between Renee & Edith - they are still as funny in the later seasons as is the case earlier on in the series. Richard Marner still shines as does Arthur Bostrom and Kenneth Connor and Vicki Michelle always delight viewers of this great British sitcom. Watching this you know that it is winding down - but thanks to that excellent fellow Mr Croft there are many giggles to have should you buy this from Amazon at such a low price !

You stupid woman!
Marvellous series. Laughed at it on tv and can still laugh now. The policeman and Flick were stars in their own rights as were Yvette and Mimi le Bonc.

To complete the set
This is a really good DVD to purchase if you are looking to complete the set. The jokes are still funny, but they are also rather tired as the show is clearly past it's best. Read more

Allo Allo Series 8 & 9
Allo Allo was a spoof of Secret Army utilising the same sets and costumes. But Allo Allo is remembered more than Secret Army, the more serious show. Read more

Excellent, very funny.
Allo Allo is very funny TV series, taking place in a litlle French village during the World War 2. I would recommend it to anyone.
