Allo! Allo!

Without duobt the best of an incredible show. It may not have crabtree in but that doesn't matter as we have the show's speciality of silly schemes all together with one target, the general. You have the resistance with the dynamite in the cake. The Colonel with the poison in the wine and the gestapo with the poison dart. All of which go wrong in various ways causing Rene to moan 'not in my cafe' quite a lot so he has to stop all the attempts. The whole farcical scene is summed up by this exchange between rene and the captain: 'Do you not see? That if we kill him with the pill in the till, by making with it the drug in the jug, you need not light the candle with the handle on the gateau from the chateau!' To which Rene replies with the classic and immortally understated line of 'the simple plans are always the best'.
