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 Kelly’s Hans Geering pops up again) and the usual fun with the Fallen Madonna painting, and the two English airmen.

But it’s the core characters that continue to deliver the laughs in ’Allo ‘Allo, from Gorden Kaye and Carmen Silvera as Rene and Edith, Richard Gibson’s marvellous Herr Flick, Guy Siner’s Gruber, Kim Hartman’s Helga through to Kirsten Cooke as Michelle of the Resistant. They all know and inhabit their characters so well, and it’s a joy to spend time with them. Whether spouting catchphrases, double entendres or simply well-written one liners, there’s 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 it’s well worth doing so, too. --Jon Foster

Customer Reviews

Still very funny!
After a few seasons, sitcoms usually go down hill, but this prooves that there are plenty of laughs left for Allo, Allo in it's 6th & 7th season.
The format is the same as before with all of your favourite characters present, the only difference is that Jack Haig's character is missing due to his untimely death. The character of Roger Leclerc is replaced by his twin brother, Ernest Leclerc played by Derick Royal and then by Robin Parkinson in series 7. Gavin Richards, who plays Captain Bertorelli also steps down at the end of series 6 and is replaced by the actor Rodger Kitter. In most programmes changing the actors and characters would't work, but this has been pulled off brilliantly by the writters and the relivant actors.
Apart from a few minor changes here and there, everyone else is present and correct including the hilarious Officer Crabtree and Herr Flick. There is also a guest appearance by Hans Geering (Sam Kelly) which is worth a watch!
There are 18 episodes in total, each lasting 30mins, which is 8mins longer than the eps in series 5. The plots are hillarious and our favourite characters will find themselves in many funny situations.
It's certainly worth every penny. Role on season 8 and 9.

Podgeons on the Pist!
Has the economy got you down? Have politics got your blood pressure up? Will one more idiotic "reality" show on the telly send you round the bend?

Time for another dose of 'Allo 'Allo!--the magnificent nonsense that proves the old adage that laughter is the best medicine. And series six and seven, like series five, four, three, two, and one, will leave you whooping with laughter, no matter how many times you have seen its variations on the same theme. The maids and Lieutenant Grueber will find the podgy Rene irresistible; Edith will sing off-key; her bed-ridden mother will complain "Will nobody come to the aid of an old woman?"; Helga will bellow "COME IN!"; the black-leathered Herr Flick and Von Smallhausen will hatch their fiendish plans to no avail; the chicken-helmeted (and -hearted) Capitano Bertorelli will make-a mistake-a; Michelle of the Resistance will "say this only once;" Sergeant Crabtree will murder the "French" language, and the thick-headed British airmen will still not get away from Nuvion, that small village in occupied France where everyone collaborates with everyone else (I am passing over the "Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies" by von Klomp and the "Cracked Vase with the Big Daisies" by van Gogh.).

The running gags are what make 'Allo 'Allo so much fun, and the gags in this delightful series have been running a long way for a long time. And despite the fact that the show hits all the various national and social stereotypes, the humor is good-natured; even the sexual puns and innuendo, completely lacking in subtlety, are hysterically funny and devoid of the patent crudity that infects so many "modern" American sitcoms.

So, in the words of Sergeant Crabtree, witch this twee-dosk sot in the oovening and you will be sure to have a good moaning the nayxt doo.

Repeated and repeated and still just as good.
I received series 6+7 from Amazon on the 18th of August and have now watched all 18 episodes THREE TIMES. I know it may be a little sad, but I am about to start watching it again. Having had series 1 to 5 for a long time, I have been waiting this batch for a few years.
This, along with Dads Army, beats anything that current TV can provide.
I was very happily surprised that I don't recall seeing any of these episodes before, which makes them even more refreshing.
Please encourage the supplier to release the remainder soon. I don't want to wait another couple of years.
