'Allo 'Allo; Complete Series Nine November 19, 2008
This DVD is truly Great, and shows a sterling end to the 'Allo 'Allo series.
'allo, allo series 9 November 18, 2008
Although I wasn't sure of this one in the beginning, now that I've seen all 9 series I have to admit it's one of the funniest Britcoms I've seen. Delightful.
An end to a very funny series November 2, 2008
These seem to be the final episodes of a very funny Brit comedy.
The disks include a retrospective of previous episodes that are quite nostalgic.
The end of the story October 17, 2008
'Allo 'Allo is one of the funniest shows ever made anywhere. But as all things must it ends. The last half of the very last episode is a brilliant epilogue to the war. The special feature where Rene' and Edith remember stories is disappointing at best. There were much funnier moments that could and should have been shown instead of what was picked. But if you have a passion for Brit humor then this is the show for you.
Package Details - Adieu to a classic July 11, 2008
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
Here it is... the final series of one of my favorite imports and a surprisingly funny sitcom about the German occupation of France during WW2.
While I feel the series suffered a bit following series 6 after Gorden Kaye suffered serious head injuries in a car crash and one half of the original writing team, David Croft, handed off his portion of the writing duties it still managed to bring hilarity to the war effort.
Before the meat, a bit of commentary:
With the total disrespect shown to fans by studios these days with many stalled, incomplete, or abandoned TV series in the marketplace it is refreshing to see a classic completed, especially a BBC series which tend to be higher priced than standard domestic fare.
As anyone who is looking at this item is surely a true fan I'll not bore you with how good the series is. You already know. So here is what I know about this release.
First, the Special Features:
The Best of `Allo `Allo! - Rene and Edith reminisce over old times.
Cast Biographies
WARNING:
** Spoilers ahead! **

From the package description:
"Rene has great expectations! The end of the war is in sight and he is eagerly anticipating a quick return to normalcy. Unfortunately, this is Nouvion, and normalcy will have to wait while Rene is blown to smithereens, shot in the rear end while disguised as an elk, and kidnapped by Louise to serve as love slave to the Communist Resistance. Meanwhile, Herr Flick undergoes plastic surgery to avoid capture by the Allies, General von Klinkerhoffen hatches another fool-proof plan to assassinate Hitler, and no one can remember where they have hidden the painting of the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies. As normalcy recedes further and further into the distance, Michelle plots an escape via the annual fishmonger's parade, and Lieutenant Gruber desperately tries to fix his little tank. Can the end of the war come soon enough to save these desperate fools?"
Episode summaries:
Gone with the Windmill - As the war draws to an end, Gruber and von Strohm return from Spain, their escape attempt having failed. Rene agrees to hide the painting, still missing a boobie, and suggests the Germans fake their own kidnapping by hiding in the windmill, which von Klinkerhoffen has earmarked for target practice. Meanwhile, a heavily bandaged Flick tells Helga he has had plastic surgery to avoid capture by the Allies.
A Tour de France - Captured by the Communists, Rene is looking for a way to escape. Meanwhile, everyone else assumes he has been killed in the windmill explosion. Flick and von Smallhausen are attempting to trick Edith by pretending to be British.
Dead Man Marching - Renes backside is full of buckshot after being mistaken for an elk while escaping from the Communists. He now must lay low or face being re-captured, but in the end decides the safest plan is to turn himself in to the Germans, faking amnesia from the explosion.
Tarts and Flickers - Michelle tries to send important microfilm to England via homing pigeon. When that fails, she decides on using a motorised float in the annual Nouvion Fishmongers Parade. Flick and Von Smallhousen pose as waitresses to search for the painting.
A Fishy Sendoff - It is the day of the annual Nouvion Fishmongers Parade, but von Klinkerhoffen, Gruber and the Colonel are heading to Berlin on a most special mission: to assassinate Hitler with an exploding picture frame.
A Winkle in Time - The Allies have landed, and the Germans are in trouble. While a disguised Gruber and von Strohm attempt to mingle with the villagers, Flick and von Smallhausen try to reach the ocean in a mini-submarine via a secret tunnel under the town... Nouvion, present day. A Mercedes pulls into the square where there is a statue of Rene, the war hero. Old chauffeur von Strohm opens the door for the rich owners Helga and Gruber (now an international art dealer). Inside the cafe is Rene's young adopted son. Rene is being assisted to the toilet by Yvette. Upstairs, an older Mimi attends to the bedridden Edith. Rene is explaining that he never found the painting, when an accident suddenly reveals its hiding place. The painting is now worth millions, but will everyone get their share?
Very highly recommended!
