I will say this only once
This show was filled with the best and most well-known entertainers in the State, a fierce combination that included John X as Rene, Betty Davidson as Edith and Craig Wellington as Crabtree. The remainder of the principals were played by Daryl Peebles (Le Clerc), Graeme Paine (Col. von Strohm), Andrew Colrain (Lt. Gruber), Colin Dean (Capt. Bertorelli), Spot Cullen (Herr Flick), Andrea Moody (Helga), Styne Ashton (Gen. von Schmelling), Emily Jarrett (Michelle), Samantha Brewster (Yvette), Seraya Hamley (Mimi) and the Chris Hamley & Ian Williams (Airmen).

’Allo ’Allo is based on the top-rating BBC television series, and follows the adventures of Rene, a hapless cafe ownerin occupied France, as he struggles to keep for himself the priceless painting of the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies, hide two British Airmen and prevent the Germans and the Resistance from shooting him. At the same time he must stop his wife, Edith, from finding out about his affairs with his waitresses, Yvette and Mimi. Rene will need all of the cunning he can muster to save his cafe... and his life.
