Villa Amiel

www.simplygites.com – ‘Allo ‘Allo! – was a direct-hit domestic sitcom and huge international success that made a star out of its lead, the funny and talented actor Gorden Kaye. At first sight, frolics in Nazi-occupied France may have seemed a dubious subject for humour, but the show’s premise was not to make fun of the war but to spoof war-based film and TV dramas, and in particular a BBC1 drama about the resistance movement, Secret Army (42 episodes, 7 September 1977 to 15 December 1979). A good deal of high farce and plenty of bawdy badinage also helped move ‘Allo ‘Allo! away from reality and offence, and the fact that it was a huge hit on French TV (it was shown there on Canal+) indicates that writers Lloyd and Croft succeeded in getting the right balance. (What Germans may have thought of it is another matter…) For a real French experience for French Holidays and French Gites try http
