Allo Allo Is Back!

This may be a silly question but, anybody remember the BBC's hit comedy Allo Allo? I'm sure the answer is a resounding yes, as this famous Second World War comedy was very popular when it aired from 1982 - 1992. Although the comedy recorded its last show almost 20 years ago, it has become a British classic. So it comes as no surprise that Fred Olsen cruises are cashing in on the show’s popularity, want to find out more? Then read on........

Two of the shows main stars, Herr Otto Flick of the Gestapo (Richard Gibson) and Private Helga Geerhart (Kim Hartman) are to join Fred Olsen for two voyages in 2012. So any fans of the series now have the chance to meet the actors. Both Flick and Geerhart will be lecturing and performing on the theme of Comedy, this will be incorporated into Fred Olsen's cruise enrichment programme, Vistas.

I’m sure many of the show’s famous episodes and catchphrases will come into play as most have become part of our everyday language. Allo Allo has legions of fans mimicking the comic sounding accents and clueless antics of the French resistance and its many other characters, so to hear them first hand will be a treat.

For anyone who is interested in the program, this is not one to miss. There will be only two cruises so early booking is advised. The first is Canaries and Morocco cruise on the Boudicca 5th January and the second cruise a 25-night sector on Balmoral on the 9th March 2012.  Although both cruises are not necessarily Allo Allo themed voyages, you can still have the best of both worlds on board. You can enjoy the warm climate and the standard cruise voyage with the added benefit of lectures and performances on board so win, win!
