'Allo 'Allo! – Specials
Episodes
The British Are Coming (Pilot)
René Artois, owner of the Café René in the French village of Nouvion, is 'persuaded' by the Resistance to hide two escaping British airmen. René is more interested in having affairs with his two waitresses without his wife finding out. The Germans, who are occupying the village, are busy looting anything valuable.
The Gâteau from the Château (Christmas Special 1985)
The airmen's escape is thwarted by Nazi gunfire, and the air balloon crashes into Madame Fanny's bedroom. General Von Klinkerhoffen takes command of Nouvion and orders Colonel Von Strohm to woo Edith in order to infiltrate the Resistance. The Colonel soon delegates the duty to Captain Hans Geering. Herr Flick plots the death of the General by poisoned dart, with Helga assigned to do the fatal deed. The Colonel and the Captain plan to poison the General's wine with a lethal pill, whilst Michelle has Edith make a Black Forest Gateau packed with dynamite.
A Bun in the Oven (Christmas Special 1991)
Two years have passed. The airmen have finally escaped to England and Captain Bertorelli and his Italian troops have gone home. René thinks life is now relatively peaceful. Then Yvette announces that she's pregnant. Colonel Von Strohm and Lieutenant Gruber get Helga to steal the painting of the Fallen Madonna from Herr Flick. She cuts off one of the boobies and keeps it, to make sure that she'll get her 'cut' when the painting is sold.
The Best of 'Allo 'Allo!
René and Edith are in the Alps celebrating Edith's birthday. As they drink champagne and eat cake they start to reminisce about the WWII days, and we are shown several clips with highlights from the entire series. Some of the clips include: Michelle's many "I shall say this only once" plans, René's shooting, the flying nun, Crabtree's bad french, Gruber's advances towards René, René's affairs with the girls, Fanny and Leclerc in the foldup-bed, Leclerc's disguises etc.
The Return of 'Allo 'Allo!
A one-off special. René is writing his memoirs and needs help to fill in the "big gaps". Features some of the original cast reprising their roles; inter-worked with a documentary about the show's history.
Stars Organisation for Spastics excerpt (1987)
A UK charity event raising awareness and funds for spastics, host Noel Edmunds introduces Michael Grade to present the funniest programme. After reading the nominations and seeing clips of the shows, the award is received by René, mocking Grade and the BBC in the process. Note: pressure of political correctness refers to the excerpt at the beginning as Stars Organisation for Supporting Cerebral Palsy, which began to change gradually in the early 2000s, formally registered in 2003.
Children in Need (1985)
After an introduction from René, on the verge of putting cheese in his ears, the cast gathered to sing Under The Bridges of Paris.
Je t'aime on Wogan
René and Yvette perform their (sampled) cover of the once-banned single Je t'aime, containing constant 'Allo 'Allo references. The single flopped, but is amusing to any fan of the show.
Stage Show excerpt on Wogan
On Bastille Day on Wogan, René and Edith enter the studio with a tandem and a bucket, making jokes while talking with the host, and unashamedly promoting the next series and the stage show, which is the cue to introduce Herr Flick and Helga, who dance while quoting funny dialogue. They then join Wogan and René and Edith.
