Amazon.co.uk Review
Originally screened between 1989 and 1991, the sixth and seventh seasons of
Allo Allo find the show confident, established and still with plenty of jokes to tell.
There are 18 episodes of Allo Allo across the two series, and the vast majority of the cast was still firmly in place. By this stage too, they all had plenty to do. So we get the marriage of Madame Fanny and Monsier LeClerc, General Von Klinkerhoffen going mad, a quick trip to England (where Sam Kellys Hans Geering pops up again) and the usual fun with the Fallen Madonna painting, and the two English airmen.
But its the core characters that continue to deliver the laughs in Allo Allo, from Gorden Kaye and Carmen Silvera as Rene and Edith, Richard Gibsons marvellous Herr Flick, Guy Siners Gruber, Kim Hartmans Helga through to Kirsten Cooke as Michelle of the Resistant. They all know and inhabit their characters so well, and its a joy to spend time with them. Whether spouting catchphrases, double entendres or simply well-written one liners, theres plenty of fun to be had.
After series seven, the wheels started to come off Allo Allo a little, so this set marks really the last time to fully enjoy the series at the height of its confidence. And its well worth doing so, too. --Jon Foster
