Allo Allo Series 5 features as many crazy situations as ever (including a special "spy camera" disguised inside a potato), the usual silly but clever accents to show who's who, lots of cross-dressing (did you know female German officers were "allowed" to grow mustaches of "tasteful length"?), and over-the-top plots to foil the Nazis. One particularly memorable episode in this series involves disguising explosives in 500 Christmas puddings that René is asked to house at his café. How, he pleads, is he to explain the presence of 500 Christmas puddings at his tiny bistro? Resistance leader Michelle, exasperated: "Just say you have cornered ze market!" Genius!
EPISODES COMPRISE
1. There is a plan afoot to micro-photograph Hitler’s invasion plans and to send them off to London. But first, Yvette and Mimi are to distract the Colonel in order that they might obtain the necessary film. (29)
2. Gruber rescues Rene from his cell. Flick orders Helga to collect evidence of supposed plot to blow up Hitler. The plan to steal the Colonel’s film is put into operation at the café. (30)
3. Helga informs the Colonel and Gruber that Flick suspects they are plotting to kill Hitler. Rene and his staff develop a plan whereby Leclerc can enter Gruber’s room disguised as a fireman to create a diversion so they can blow up the safe. (31)
4. During the pandemonium caused by the fire at the chateau, Leclerc breaks into the safe and finds the Fallen Madonna and the van Gogh instead of the invasion plans. He nicks these and escapes disguised as a German. (32)
5. Rene announces to Edith that he will marry the head of the Communist Resistance, Denise, who was his childhood sweetheart. But no man has ever said "No" to Edith before and lived to tell about it. (33)
6. Rene’s wedding to Denise is on Saturday. Edith plots with Michelle to capture the bride and to stand in her place at the altar. Alphonse still hopes to marry Edith once Rene is out of the picture. (34)
7. In the aftermath of her wedding day, Denise has escaped and is out for blood. The café is machine gunned. Rene wisely takes on the disguise of his father and seeks sanctuary from the Colonel. (35)
8. Rene tells Edith, Yvette and Mimi that Denise is out to get them. Edith is frightened into disguising herself first as her mother and then as Leclerc. Helga reports the whereabouts of the paintings to the Colonel. (36)
9. Michelle gives Rene an outfit in which he can conceal the camera so he can take pictures of the invasion plans. Café Rene is doing the catering for the Meeting of the Generals, so the stage is set for photographic intrigue. (37)
10. The successful photographic attempt from last week was, after all, unsuccessful. Seems there were not any actual invasion plans on the map which Rene photographed. Michelle reveals her love for Rene. (38)
11. Gruber informs von Klinkerhoffen that it was the collaborating French General who blew up Flick and is suspected of trying to poison the other Generals. Rene is reprieved. Michelle tells Yvette she is faking her love for Rene so he will remain in the Resistance. (39)
12. Fearing being blamed for the ten Generals who were sent to the coast, Rene sets out to brick himself into his cellar. Michelle arrives with a medal for his bravery but also with a suicide pill since he knows too much. (40)
13. The Colonel, Gruber, Bertorelli and Leclerc are held ransom by Denise and the Communists. Michelle learns of the situation and decides this an opportune time to do away with both the Germans and the Communists. (41)
