ramit Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Uhmm. pretty sure he died a number of years ago when a tree fell on him during a storm, or so it was reported in the other universe. That or i have gone mad, again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean he played a police-moan? 'Allo 'Allo was terrific right up until Gordon Kate's accident in real life. Never understood quite why that changed everything (despite the massive scar across Rene's head) but it was never the same again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I could never understand why those waitresses were interested in him. Apart from the one that came in later with the blonde curly hair. I wasn't keen on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether he worked much after though. allo allo was one of those programmes that went on for too many series IMO - funny at first and then repetitive.

The accident was around 1985 or 86 so he kept going with rene for a fair old while after. Too long probably as you point out. To its credit though I think the series tried to keep fresh by introducing new items which gradually became established. In later years there were the different resistance movements for example - communist and gaullist - which weren't in the early series'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, right you are, thanks. i loved this show, am a sucker for anything ww2, but yeah it probably went on too long. That all the ladies were wild for Rene was more than a long standing joke, it was a devious social experiment of how far you can take suspension of disbelief.

DerbyMark Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Good moaning! I was p***ing by the door when I heard two shats! Loved 'Allo 'Allo, though I agree it did go on too long and ended up getting so silly it stopped being funny. Sad to hear of the passing of the guy who played Rene, a fine character actor...can't imagine anyone else playing that role so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
