Say 'Allo Allo' once more
« on: March 25, 2007, 02:59:41 pm »

Good moaning sitcom fans - I have a massage for you...


After 15 years off screen, Allo Allo will return for a one-off special later this year. While most of the original cast will be involved, Carmen Silvera (Madame Edith) died in 2003 - meaning we're unlikely to hear Rene's famous refrain 'you stupid woman!' again.

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

But Mary Millar, who played Rose in Keeping Up Appearances, is also dead - you can never fully recapture something in a revival. The only exception to the rule I've ever seen is The Royle Family special. smurfboy2007-03-26 00:23:18

I used to like Allo Allo but I would imagine it looks pretty dated now. I saw a repeat of Keeping Up Appearances at the weekend and that looked so dated it was not as funny as it used to be.
