[edit] Copyedit Tag

I have removed the copyedit tag for this page. Having read through the article, I do not believe that the grammar, syntax and presentation requires specific attention. On a separate note, I wonder if the list of character quirks is not perhaps a little too detailed. However, since I cannot know the feelings of most, and since it is valid information, I have not removed it. - Adaru 09:46, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit 28.11.05

Changed the text that said Gruber was gay to 'seemmingly gay'. The reason for this is the last episode, where Gruber and Helga (and the colonel) reunites with Rene something like 30-40 years after the war, happily married. Bjelleklang - [[User_talk:Bjelleklang|talk]] 04:13, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edit 24.12.06

Changed exaggerated French accent to not-so-exaggerated French accent. I'm a native French speaker who often travels abroad so I gt some feedback from foreigners regarding my accent… Reply to David Latapie 06:13, 24 March 2006 (UTC)


I'm not sure of the specifics but shouldn't there be some mention here of the break in the series due to the near death of the star in a car accident. Lumberjack Steve 23:45, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episode details

Since most of the major plots in 'Allo 'Allo! run over several episodes, I suggest that the main article just have summaries of the most major plots in each series, and we spin off the episode details to separate pages (one per series). I have done this for the first series. (Don't forget that this is an encylopedia, and we should avoid re-telling jokes - especially in the plot summaries in the main page.) I'm going by the rule of them "if a subplot can be omitted from the main page, with the main plots still making sense, then it should be" Bluap 00:20, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accents on "E"s

I've just been through with some copy editing, but there's also the issue of the usage of Rene and Cafe. I have never watched this show, so I don't know how important these accented characters are, but it needs to be uniform over the whole article. Thathollygirl 22:57, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alphonse or Alfonse

The correct spelling is Mr Alfonse. This is what is on the DVD subtitles, the BBC's comedy guide and the IMDb. Brandybordeaux 11:36, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup?

What is the reason for placing this tag here? Is the person who put it there going to explain? --Berks105 09:38, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Painting

There is no reference in the artical to "The Cracked Vase With The Big Daisies" 172.206.108.47 18:43, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit 07.01.07

Corrected Herr Flick's relationship to Heinrich Himmler from 'nephew' to 'godson'. His referral to 'Uncle Heiny' is an affectionate term, not a literal one. Mickleditch 15:52, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

From memory, there's a scene where Herr Flick and General Von Klinkerhoven argue which has the greatest influence with the Fuhrer. (They refer to chamois leather underwear.) In this scene, Herr Flick also refers to his relationship with Himmler, but I can't remember whether he says that his godfather is Himmler, or that is uncle is Himmler. (It's certainly possible for both relationships to be true.) Bluap 00:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'Allo 'Allo returning

Apparently the BBC has confirmed that 'Allo 'Allo will be returning for a 1 off special (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6431533.stm). Its supposedly 'reuniting the original cast' and will be aired sometime in spring. I'll put something up sometime over the next few days unless someone else wishes to.

Looking into more detail, I'm not sure whether this will actually be a one-off episode, or a documentary (or both). The original story about it being an episode was in The Sun - this story was picked up by BBC News, without necessarily any official confirmation from the production team. When the BBC issue an official statement, it will be in the "press office" section of their website: [1] not their news website. Bluap 05:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
