'Allo 'Allo!: The Funeral (1984)
Season 1, Episode 5
9/10
Swiftly and with Style
9 January 2020
Step forward Monsieur Alfonse, who's set to bury Rene, only Rene isn't dead, his cover story that he is his own twin brother. Herr Flick and Helga attend the funeral hoping to discover members of The Resistance among the peasants.

It's a particularly funny episode, it's getting more and more bonkers with each episode. Kenneth Connor was one of my favourite characters, so it's wonderful to see him appear as the undertaker.

It's loading with funny scenes, the exploding coffin for one, but the subsequent scenes where mud drips on the hiding pair. The look of sheer delight on Hartman's face is evident, Gibson manages to remain stern faced throughout.

A classic. 9/10
