'Allo 'Allo! anno 2008 - who would you cast?


If there were to be a remake of 'Allo 'Allo!, who would you choose as your main cast? LOL!

I think these persons would well be capable of playing the roles:

Crabtree - Rowan Atkinson
Madame Fanny - Patricia Routledge
Monsieur Alfonse - David Suchet
Kolonel Von Strohm - Warren Clarke
Captain Bertorelli - Martin Marquez
Lieutenant Gruber - David Walliams

I still can't think of anyone for Rene, Michelle, Mimi, Helga or Herr Flick.

Well,

How about Jennifer Saunders as Michelle?

Gary Waldhorn = Herr Flick

"Jeffry Holland" is just about to play "rene", in a revival of the stage production. He will probably do very well. Plus in the same production "Vicki Michelle" is still playing her own part.

Mm, I really liked Jeffrey Holland in "Hi-de-Hi!" & "You Rang, M'Lord?" That should be good. I like the suggestions being made. What about Julie Walters as Edith? She's proved with characters like Mrs Overall & Petula in "dinnerladies" that she can do a funny old crone. Would Billie Piper do as perhaps Mimi or Helga? I'm not a huge fan of hers, but I think she could be good. And the girl from "Sense & Sensibility", Charity Wakefield, has the young & sexy thing nailed in my opinion - she might make a good waitress.

With those four ladies mentioned, I think I'd be the perfect Rene!

reply

Just for the pure fun of it:

David Duchovny as Otto Flick
Tom Braidwood as Engelbert von Smallhausen
Gillian Anderson as Helga Geerhart
Sacha Baron Cohen as Officer Crabtree

Thats what i can think of at the moment

Monsieur Alfonse - David Jason
Hans Geering - Griff Rhys Jones
Col. von Strohm - Mel Smith
Ltd. Gruber - Adrian Edmondson (though David Walliams is a good suggestion too)
General von Klinkerhofen - Graeme Garden
Crabtree - Rowan Atkinson
Fanny - June Whitfield
LeClerc - Leslie Phillips
René... hm, IMO Jeffrey Holland is too handsome, Jean Reno? ;-)
Herr Flick - Laurence Fox (though he might be a bit too young)
