'Allo 'Allo 3 - 13 February 2010

The Hit British Comedy 'Allo 'Allo Set in occupied France during World War II opens in February 2010 with a wonderfully talented cast that will ensure laughs galore.

Set during World War II, 'Allo 'Allo! tells the story of René Artois, a French café owner in the village of Nouvion. Germans have occupied the village and stolen all of its valuable artifacts. These include a painting of The Fallen Madonna by Van Clomp (known to those who have seen it as The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies). The commandant of the town has decided to keep them for himself after the war and forces René to hide the painting in his café. Hitler also wants the painting for himself, and sends Herr Otto Flick of the Gestapo to the town to find it. Flick, in turn, conspires to keep it for himself. The paintings are duplicated by a forger, get mixed-up and put in knackwurst sausages. One is sent to Hitler on an ammunition train, which gets blown up, one is hidden and the other is eaten for dinner by Flick himself.
At the same time, the café is being used as a safe house for two brave but clueless downed British airmen. René is forced to work with the all-women Resistance, who would otherwise shoot him for serving Germans in his café.
René is also trying to keep his affairs with his two waitresses secret from his wife Edith (who regularly sings in the café, although she is an appallingly bad singer, which she does not realise). Furthermore, the seemingly gay German Lieutenant Gruber is also continually flirting with René. These situations are even more humorous by the fact that René is not exactly the best looking man in France and is hardly a hero. Sexual innuendos abound and along with and a fast-paced running string of broad cultural clichés ensures a delightful comedy.
