Woke censors declare war on classic comedy ’Allo ’Allo over gags which poke fun at foreign accents

CENSORS have declared war on classic comedy ’Allo ’Allo in case woke viewers get upset by gags which poke fun at foreign accents.

As well as stereotypical French, German and Italian characters, the World War Two sitcom features panto-style sexual innuendo.

All nine series streaming online now feature warnings.

Before each Britbox episode a message appears on the screen reading: “This classic comedy contains language and attitudes of the time that may offend some viewers.”

BBC comedy ’Allo ’Allo! ran from 1982 to 1992 and starred the late Gorden Kaye as café owner Rene, a reluctant French Resistance spy.

Carmen Silvera played his nagging wife Edith.

The show was so popular a stage version was created.

But the Beeb reportedly ruled out a remake in 2016 fearing characters such as the Gestapo’s Herr Flick might cause offence.

Britbox, a joint subscription service from the BBC and ITV, was approached for comment.
