Any ‘ALLO ‘ALLO fans in?

Good moaning

one of those shows I just didn't like whatsoever.. I remember thinking, how can a nation that gave the world Fawlty Towers, Yes Minister, Porridge and the Young Ones come up with this utter garbage.

Also on that list is:

Keeping Up Appearances

Hi de hi

The Brittas Empire

The policeman always reminds me of a French client from my time at the Calvinist Ant Colony who was being given various structuring options for his oil trading business, some of which might have raised a few eyebrows at HMRC (or rather its predecessor).  He went for the least tax aggressive option explaining

I do nurt wurnt ze Inlond Rovenoo ... to sink zat ... I am ... a kernt

The tax weirdo looked horrified while I snotted tea over my notebook.

Brittas Empire was moderately funny and does not deserve to be on the same list of garbage as Allo Allo Hi de Hi Keeping up Appearances.   Add Last of the Summer Wine instead.

Awful show. I remember a PA who used to greet you with good moaning without fail. If the windows could be opened and there were three of you spare she’d have been set free. 

Even as a kid I remember finding the idea of all those hot young waitresses clambering over each other for the attention of Rene, a dumpy middle aged bald guy who treated his wife life shit, very unconvincing. 

But, you know, prime time,

one of those shows I just didn't like whatsoever.. I remember thinking, how can a nation that gave the world Fawlty Towers, Yes Minister, Porridge and the Young Ones come up with this utter garbage.

I like F Towers and Keeping Up Appearances.  Don't be a comedy snob.  Gentle humour / edgy humour - all good.  Casting in 'Appearances was genius - Onslow - legend
