aimeric though, so I'm out of luck.
Listen very carefully, I will say this only once. Unlike Underdog, 'Allo, 'Allo still stands up 20 years later. It's essentially a farce taking place in occupied WW2 Fronce. It's well-written fluff. The thing that's carried off the most brilliantly? The accents. The Fronch speak with Fronch accents and can't understand English - which is the Brits speaking in toff. One character who is bilingual switches back and forth. One of the recurring plots is the fate of a stolen painting: the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies.
It's worth a rental. All nine seasons' worth.
