Yes if you've got digital TV you can watch this 70s classic. The one where Honkie and Sambo are always having a go at each other...

BBC4 20:35 tonight

I might tune in if I remember

It is one of those which like "mind your language" you feel inclined to watch just to see if it was as totally awful as you remember

Been rewatching another 70's comedy soap, the fall and rise of Reginald Perrin and I think it has held up very well

It was a bit like Mind Your language, I remember we always used to watch it (and Mind Your Language, and It Ain't 'alf Hot Mum) so it'll definitely be interesting to see what it was "really" like.

Not on anything like the same scale as these because I think it was much more tongue in cheek, and they keep repeating it too, but I keep telling my European colleagues they really need to see Allo Allo at least once. It's hard to explain its appeal. Actually I think there's a very good reason for that . But really, who here hasn't seen it?

They're repeating a 70s game show on BBC2 at the moment, is it part of the same thing?

I think we accept 'Allo Allo' much easier because it clearly takes the mickey out of the English as much as everyone else, with the policeman whose french is almost unintelligible, the airmen with their handlebar moustaches, the sex crazed frenchmen and the SS man dressed in his black leather. I always find myself laughing whereas the 70's shows just make me cringe.
