Allo 'Allo!: The Complete Series 3 [DVD]

Allo Allo is one the greats in British comedy. It is classic and like the best of British it is funny without vulgarity. The story line is based around a French restaurant owner and his exploits with the resistance (who will only say anything once, inside joke if you purchase) and the Germans occupying the French town. Renee (the restaurant owner) has a wife that cannot sing worth two pence (pronounced tuppence) but believes she is a world class singer. His two bar girls are madly in love with him. A german officer (male) also believes Renee is so charming and irresistable. Top that off with a Mother in law bedridden with a sex drive of a nineteen year old, two British airmen trying to escape from France with the help of a bungling French resistance, a British spy posing as a French policemen who cannot pronounce or speak proper French (everything is spoken in English with a French accent to symbolize French). Finally a German commandant in charge of the town trying to hide stolen paintings from Hitler in order to pay for his retirement and a Natzi with a love for wearing womens clothing not to mention his attraction to Helga the Commandants secretary. All in all it is great classic British comedy, I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the greats like Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, Open All Hours, Dad's Army and Black Adder. Watch for appearances by Kenneth Connor from the Carry On movies. Purchase and enjoy series one and two also, Jim Kindlon

This is more of the most brilliantly-written comedy series ever. From the very first episode to the last, all the characters are consistent and hilarious. The plots are clever and each builds on previous episodes. Not a single word is wasted; each is carefully chosen to add something to the story.It is set in France during WWII. The main character is Rene, played by Gorden Kaye, who owns a cafe, and occupies his days trying to balance getting along with the Germans, the French Resistence, the Communist Resistence, his wife, who thinks she can sing, his mother-in-law, British airmen, various onion-sellers, the Gestapo, and the two lovely waitresses with whom he is having affairs. As the episodes progress, you meet additional characters, who are always consistently hilarious.As you may have read from other reviews, the "extras" here do not really add much, except additional glimpses of several of the Allo Allo actors on British TV game shows. They are worth watching once, but you will prefer watching the hilarious episodes of Allo Allo.In some ways it's like the British series, "Are You Being Served." If you have ever enjoyed a single episode, you'll want to see all of them. This must be classic great humor, because you want to watch them over and over.

I only heard of this series but never saw it. I watched a few episodes on youtube and had to buy a few sets. I find it very funny in a nonsense way but it as typical British humor. Every thing they say has a double meaning and it reminds me of Hogans heros but a bit funnier. The Germans are depicted as foolish and highly suspicious of each other. The plots are run on plots and go on from one show to another. But its done well and each show has its own merits. I would recommend it for any one with a good sense of humor.

Wonderful and highly entertaining madcap comedy, set in occupied France during WWII, with twists and turns that boggle the mind, and keep the entire family in splits... we have watched the show OVER and OVER and OVER again and laughed till we cried and almost died. Unfortunately only series 1-4 are currently available for American consumers. Can hardly wait for the remaining series 5-9. Very well done. Extremely clever situations that lead to more complex and hilarious scenarios all of which seem to have been conceived by a brilliant mind. Excellent value for the money. The all-British cast with their French and German accents are brilliant. The German Army and Gestapo portrayals are nothing short of spectacular.

If you love British humor and slapstick, this series is for you!! The characters become more endearing the more you watch. Love the repeated phrases each character uses in every episode. Is a bit "politically incorrect" today on some issues, but I don't feel it to be insulting because of the time period of the series and filming.

I am purchasing the entire set of these as a gift for my friend and he is loving them. He grew up with this show and along with Good Neighbors it was his favorite BBC show The disc is in great shape too

This was a 2 dvd set. Disc 1 stop running during 3 episode and would run even after I took the dvd out and cleaned it. Disc 2 ran just fine. Will try and play it again, if it won't run again, I will just find another copy.

Like series one and two this is a continuation of hilarious goings on in a little French town during WWII. More creative episodes, just as good as the former ones. I re-run this series for myself about every year and a half. I never get tired of it. This is the funniest Brit-com in my book.

Gift for my brother- he loves this series
