Product Description
From Amazon.com
The lunacy of the fifth season of 'Allo, 'Allo! continues on this two-disc set (13 episodes plus cast bios and trailers), as beleaguered French café owner René Artois (the indefatigable British comedic actor Gordon Kaye) tries to keep his life in balance. No easy trick in occupied France--his town is crawling with unhinged Nazi officers; deadly serious but not necessarily brilliant French Resistance leaders; his semi-clueless wife, Edith (Carmen Silvera); and every waitress in his café who seems to have the hots for him. Zut! The series hits its stride during season 5, the mid-point of its long, successful BBC run. The gags rely on very silly accents, lots of cross-dressing (did you know female German officers were "allowed" to grow mustaches of "tasteful length"?), and over-the-top plots to foil the Nazis. One particularly memorable episode in this series involves disguising explosives in 500 Christmas puddings that René is asked to house at his café. How, he pleads, is he to explain the presence of 500 Christmas puddings at his tiny bistro? Resistance leader Michelle, exasperated: "Just say you have cornered ze market!" --A.T. Hurley

Allo Allo the Best, Dec 24 2009
By xlegend "Tony" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Allo Allo! Pt2 Comp Series Fiv (DVD)
I have purchased the complete series of Allo Allo. This is the best comedy series that is out there. I have watched Allo Allo four times and will watch again with guaranteed laughs. The characters themselves are hilarious especially Herr Flick of the gestapo. I strongly recommend this very funny spoof of a cafe owner living in France and his dealings with an outrageously funny German Colonel and his incompetent aides. You can't go wrong.tony paratore

This review is from: Allo Allo! Pt2 Comp Series Fiv (DVD)
I am a fan of the British Comedies but this one is the best of the best. The entire series is one hilarious episode after another, many of which are side-splittingly funny. I recommend this to any serious fans of comedy.

I have a massage congealed in a long distance dick, July 24 2010
By simple sellers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Allo Allo! Pt2 Comp Series Fiv (DVD)
I like watching this with a glass of wine late at nite in the dark. No one will watch it with me and that is ok.It is a spoof of ww 2 occupied france. The jokes are broad and the stereotypes are over the top but I don't care it is funny in the silliest way. Everybody in france seems to want to get down rene's pants. ( Which is so ludricrus and hilarious because rene is bald, chubby and kinda whiney.Even a certian german officer who acts so gay you wonder if it is a put on to get ahead constantly comes onto him. Some of the gags get old like the bad dressing in drag, but most do not. Like Officer crabtree butchering the french language .
