One of my favorite tv characters of all time. Brilliantly portrayed by the man. Such a sad day.

Explaining this to Mrs. Stinkles - a British TV show set in the French resistance featuring an all-British cast doing vaudeville cartoons of a "French Accent."

What was the plot?

Two of the "bad" Germans are in the village and the Villagers run around in a farcical panic till the bad Germans leave and the good Germans breathe a sigh of relief.

What about the next episode?

Same thing.

daviyoung · Jan 23, 2017

OH RENE!

I thought he'd died a long time ago. RIP.

Roberto Larcos · Jan 23, 2017

Very sad news, loved the show growing up.

It's all about The Fallen Madonna with the big boobies.

And good moaning.

Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once.

This man will be missed. I don't think this was ever regarded as one of the all-time high ranking comedies, but I (and of course lots of other people) have very warm feelings towards this. They reveled in their silly sex jokes and misunderstandings. A true classic in my eyes, and me and my brothers never got tired of it as kids.

And fantastically simple schemes:

Do you not see? That if you kill him with the pill from the till by making with it the drug in the jug, you need not light the candle with the handle on the gâteau from the château.

Also hiding the two British airmen in the attic.

Still, shame to see him go.

Blue Ninja · Jan 23, 2017

Oh man, rest in peace. 'Allo 'Allo was terrific. I should rewatch.

Kamek · Jan 23, 2017

I thought he would be way older than that.

Great show for most of it. Watched with my folks a lot. Didn't like it when they changed the Italian.

RIP.

Same, I thought he was already gone, maybe it was one of the other cast of Allo Allo.

Corleth the Fey · Jan 23, 2017

Oh, such a daft fun show. RIP Gordon. He had a dice with death years ago in a road accident when a tree came through the windscreen. Didn't stop him.

Favourite Allo Allo joke -

SS Officer Herr Flick answers a ringing phone :

Hello, Flick the Gestapo

Herr Flick has a look of angered bemusement on his face :

NO, I said FLICK the Gestapo!!!

(You may kiss me, Helga)

Sir_Crocodile · Jan 23, 2017

Oh Rene.

Will be missed, Allo Allo was fantastic.

So has Allo Allo ever been like really aired in the USA?
Here in the EU everyone knows the show and its references.

Nokterian · Jan 23, 2017

I really enjoyed Allo Allo when rené came on screen, talking through the 4th wall on what was happening. Such a joy to see this series, laughed a lot. The fallen madonna with the big boobies.

Damn, sorry to hear that. 'Allo 'Allo! was fun, even as formulaic as it was.

Chocolate & Vanilla · Jan 23, 2017

Listen very carefully, I shall say ziss only once...
