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.'

Or Fawlty Towers..We may be okay as long as we don;t mention the war
Spot on, I am going to use that.
Good thing I didn’t tell them about the dirty knife! (I know that’s from a classic Monty Python episode, but I find it appropriate, for here.)
All the classic BBC sitcoms are still available on DVD.I have dozens of them. And on ebay they’re probably pretty cheap.
That reminds me of a quote by Thomas Macaulay:
“The Puritans hated bear-baiting, not because it gave pain to the bear, but because it gave pleasure to the spectators.”
many Puritans on FR apparently.
Ei bleau my nos een your Zheneral Di RECT shaun...
I got 30 days in FB jail because I lifted the skit from Monty Python’s THE LIFE OF BRIAN where Stan wants to become a woman called Loretta, and have babies.
First try they would not let me post claiming it was “spam”. so I removed the links and posted the actual script, with no link, but with a You Tube link to that scene.
No extra comments by me.
Three weeks later, BAM! I get a notice I cannot post for thirty days as it went “against community standards”.
If Facebook has a problem with it they should take it up with Monty Python, not me.
The British comedy had a similar scene in THE GOODIES when they are trapped in a building covered with cement, and Tim Brooke-Taylor says he wants out because he wants children! He then looks around and says...”Graham, you’re a doctor!”
There goes Fawlty Towers, The Germans, episode of course. And “The Builders”, because of the Irish.
"If the Good Lord..."
"Is mentioned once more, I shall move you closer to Him."
It was years before I finally got the ending. "Just going to see O'Reilly, dear!"
