Shame on you all
Quote:
Farewell John Inman, the Are You Being Served? star who has died aged 71, and welcome back 'Allo 'Allo, which is returning to BBC1 for a one-off special. They were big hits in their day - they were all we had - but were they any good?
I rather liked 'Allo 'Allo. Sure, it wasn't particularly subtle, with characters called Yvette Carte-Blanche and Mimi Labonq, and a long-running plotline surrounding a picture of the Fallen Madonna with the big Boobies.
But I always thought the central conceit - French characters spoke with a comedy French accent, while the English had equally exaggerated Oxbridge accents, and neither could understand each other - was rather clever.

Thought the great man needed a mention....
