    Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once

    Apparently 'Allo 'Allo is going to be transmitted in Germany, after being dubbed into German.

    So I got to thinking: how will they translate many of the catch phrases?

    The same way that they did when they flogged it to the French - amusing soundalikes rather than a literal translation of "Good Moaning".

    HTH.

      Never watched it - from the people I heard repeating the catch phrases at work it seemed like primary school level humour. I always thought it was in very bad taste - as did many people when they showed the pilot and then "scrapped" it - the series didn't start until some time later IIRC. What's next, "Belson was a gas"?

            I say, old chap. Would you mind awfully if I borrow that quote and re-use it? Many, many times over? It looks terribly useful.

            Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
