Allo! Allo!

This late in the series it seems that the scriptwriters were getting somewhat lazy when it came to inventing jokes or funny dialogue. Most of the punchlines you can see coming two or three lines in advance. Crabtree's mangled English has lost its surprise and passed its schoolboy humour sell-by date. Still, the episode has some good points. Carmen Silvera keeps getting better as the show goes on, there are some nice surreal images, most notably René's escape when he is disguised as an elk. In one scene it even pokes fun at its own logic. When the different ladies describe René as they remember him (fat and balding), they suddenly start to wonder what they saw in him. That's a question every viewer had been asking himself for nine years.
