Poor Rene. He was last seen in a prisoner of war camp, trapped with his wife and both mistresses, not to mention the two idiotic British airmen and Michelle, the hardest taskmaster of the Resistance. What's worse, Cafe Rene and its gin supply are in the unreliable hands of his mother-in-law. More hare-brained schemes, more cross-dressers, more sausages, more fractured accents, more double entendres -- they're all part of the rich texture of this hugely popular sitcom from the BBC!Includes all six episodes from The Complete Series Four of 'Allo 'Allo!

Editor's Note
The hit British comedy returns in all its bawdy glory with this complete collection of episodes from the fourth season. Rene (Gorden Kaye) is constantly beleaguered by problems, most of them caused by his overbearing wife. A botched attempt at getting rid of her by faking his own death leads his troublesome spouse to take over the reins of Rene's cafe, which he leaves to her in his will. Returning as his identical twin brother, he has to renege on his agreement to marry his shapely waitresses Yvette (Vicki Michelle) and Maria (Francesca Gonshaw), and attempt to win back the heart of his former wife in order to regain control of his cafe! Meanwhile, the Second World War rages on around Rene and the cast of oddballs, but this seems to be the least of their problems in this riotously funny show.
