The Dark Truth Behind 'Allo 'Allo (Why They BANNED This Forever!)

The Dark Truth Behind 'Allo 'Allo (Why They BANNED This Forever!) The untold story of 'Allo 'Allo isn't a comedy story. It's a story about what a decade of television took from the people who made it — in health, in dignity, in lives. Gorden Kaye nearly died in the Burns' Day Storm — a piece of his skull was missing and they begged him to keep filming. Tabloid journalists broke into his hospital room during brain surgery recovery. The courts said there was no law to stop them. Two actors died playing the same role. Carmen Silvera should have died on a torpedoed ship — her name was pulled from the passenger list at the last minute. Germany refused to broadcast 'Allo 'Allo for 25 years. The BBC chased an American deal that collapsed. And in 2016 they killed a planned 'Allo 'Allo remake because they were afraid of their own characters. Behind the catchphrases and the classic BBC comedy — behind "Good moaning" and the Fallen Madonna and the pill from the till — the real story of 'Allo 'Allo is darker than anything that happened inside Café René. The biggest British comedy star of the 1980s spent his final years in a care home unable to remember any of it. This is the untold story of what 'Allo 'Allo cost the people who made it. #AlloAllo #BritishSitcoms #BBCComedy #GordenKaye #ClassicBritishComedy #DavidCroft #JeremyLloyd #SecretArmy #BritishTV #classicsitcoms 🔥 WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER IN THIS VIDEO (🕐 TIMESTAMPS) 0:00 — The storm that nearly killed 'Allo 'Allo's biggest star 2:50 — How 'Allo 'Allo destroyed BBC's Secret Army 5:14 — The genius language trick nobody thought of first 7:25 — Gorden Kaye's accident — the full untold story 8:30 — The hospital scandal that changed British law 10:17 — The real Gorden Kaye — the man behind René 13:06 — The actors who died while the show kept going 16:44 — The American deal that broke the show 17:48 — Why the BBC BANNED the 'Allo 'Allo remake 19:52 — What 'Allo 'Allo actually built and why it still matters 📺 KEY FACTS COVERED: ' 'Allo 'Allo — 85 episodes, 9 series, created by David Croft & Jeremy Lloyd Parody of BBC's Secret Army Gorden Kaye appeared in all 85 episodes and over 1,200 stage performances Kaye v Robertson became a landmark English privacy ruling Germany refused to broadcast for 25 years — BBC scrapped remake plans 🎭 CAST & CREATORS COVERED: Gorden Kaye, Carmen Silvera, Vicki Michelle, Guy Siner, Richard Gibson, Sam Kelly, Arthur Bostrom, Kim Hartman, Sue Hodge, Kirsten Cooke, Jack Haig, Derek Royle, Robin Parkinson, Richard Marner, Kenneth Connor, Rose Hill, Hilary Minster, Francesca Gonshaw, John D.
