Continuation of the story. Renee goes to England but only for a short time.

Funny as usual, will probably order all of the series. Wondering how it will end.

4/5 Missing Ingredients
  by F. S. L'hoir (Irvine, CA)
Sometimes a stew--or a ragout in this case--is so perfect that if you change any of the ingredients, it does not taste the same. The proposition holds true for original cast of "Allo Allo" which represented a perfectly delicious combination of comic actors. Unfortunately, by season seven, they had lost the original daffy Monsieur LeClerq who revealed his disguise with raised spectacles and the charmingly chicken-hearted Capitano Bertorelli. It is not that their replacements are not excellent, because they are; it is merely that the new combination of ingredients has altered the perfect flavor of the original comic concoction.

On the plus side, Sam Kelly (Hans, of the first several seasons who escaped, by mistake, to England) turns up in British Intelligence, where he has been groomed to be a proper Englishman by the Cambridge Spies, Burgess and Maclean!

There are still plenty of laughs, gimmicks, and running gags; and Series Seven is well worth adding to your collection. But some of that original piquant zest is missing.

5/5 British comedy at its best
  by Nalini B. Zieman (Albuquerque, NM USA)
The seventh season of 'Allo 'Allo lives up to the promise of the first six. The hilarious misadventures of cafe owner Rene Artois and the rest of the characters - Germans, British, French, Italian - in occupied
France during WWII is not to be missed. There are the French Resistance ("Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once"), the Communist Resistance, a couple of silly British airman stranded in France and several German officers. All the girls and one guy, a German Lieutenant, are in love with Rene. The Gestapo is also represented by Herr Flick and his sidekick, both of whom walk with a limp (shades of Joseph Goebbels). Throw into the mix a host of other characters, weird disguises, improbable situation, and this is British comedy at its finest. You won't stop laughing. PBS showed this series many years ago, and I a so glad BBC has brought it out in DVD format. The last series (season 9) is due tobe released in October 2008. I can hardly wait!!

4/5 I love Rene`
  by D. Smith (Houston, TX)
This is one of the great classic britcoms, and should be seen by all! It's hilarious. However, there are so many running jokes that you should start at season 1 or they won't make sense.
