Woke censors slap offensiveness warning on classic ‘Allo ‘Allo episodes

Woke censors have slapped an offensiveness warning on classic ‘Allo ‘Allo episodes in case viewers are upset by characters taking the mickey out of French and German accents.

The BBC comedy, which ran from 1982 to 1992, coined a multitude of catchphrases that proved popular for decades.

‘Good Moaning’, uttered completely straight by French policeman Officer Crabtree, is still widely offered as a greeting nearly 30 years after Cafe René closed its doors for the last time.  

But now an online streaming service has included warnings over the show’s content, which includes panto-style sexual innuendo as well as the foreign accents across its nine series, according to the Sun.

A message appears on the screen before each episode on Britbox, which reads: ‘This classic comedy contains language and attitudes of the time that may offend some viewers.’

‘Allo ‘Allo starred Gordon Kaye as cafe owner René, who had to deal with a host of problems in German-occupied France during the Second World War.

These included a dishonest German officer, a local French Resistance leader, a stolen painting, and a pair of trapped British airmen.

René also tried to conceal from his wife the secret affairs he is having with his waitresses.

The comedy was so popular during the 80s and 90s, a stage version was created.

Rumours also began to circulate of a remake five years ago, but there were reportedly concerns within the BBC that characters such as Herr Flick, an officer in the Gestapo, could cause offence. 

There was an outpouring of tributes when Kaye died in 2017 at the age of 75.
