| ShortSummary = Edith is enjoying her new-found status as a rich widow, since the reading of René's will leaves almost everything to her. The British Airmen disguise themselves as nuns and hide out in the nearby convent. Gruber is summoned to the Gestapo headquarters to identify the real painting of the Fallen Madonna from two forgeries, and blackmailed into keeping quiet about his task.
----
*Note: Edith finds Rene's will in a cuckoo clock in this episode, despite stating in [['Allo 'Allo! (series 1)#The Funeral|The Funeral]] (the episode after his "death") that she had already found it in the bureau of her mother's dressing room (although upon hearing the news, Rene said that there might be another one).
*Anachronism: As Rene peruses the business cards procured by Edith during her jaunt, he declares one of the cards is for [[Dyno-Rod]], a company which was not founded until 1963.

| ShortSummary = René is ordered to hide the real painting in his cafe, concealed in a knockwurst sausage. Herr Flick has a private dinner at the cafe with Helga, while the cafe staff and the Resistance are making plans to meet a plane due to land in a nearby field that night.
----

* Note: This episode introduces the idea of the paintings being hidden in knockwursts, which became a big theme running through the whole series.

| ShortSummary = The Resistance, the cafe staff, and the British Airmen (disguised as a cow) venture out to meet the plane in the middle of the night. However, it does not land – a British intelligence officer parachutes out and gets caught up in a tree. The man, dressed as a Gendarme, introduces himself as Crabtree, and that he's been sent over because he speaks French – although he's not as fluent to French ears as he obviously believes himself to be. Back at the cafe, Madame Fanny is determined to enjoy "freebies" now that her daughter owns the cafe, and René must blow up a train under the Colonel's orders, to make Hitler think that the painting of the Fallen Madonna, expected to be on the train, has been destroyed.

| ShortSummary = Having failed to blow up the train, René and Captain Geering head back to the cafe in Gruber's little tank. They end up surrendering to the Resistance at a roadblock, who flee when they see a Gestapo staff car approaching. While everyone is gathering round to discern what has happened, Herr Flick manages to blow up his own car. Next day, Michelle arrives at the cafe with the latest plan to help the British Airmen escape: a hot-air balloon was dropped by the same plane which dropped Crabtree, but it needs silk – in the form of women's knickers – to repair it so it is airworthy. To cover their tracks, René explains to the Germans that the silk is needed for Edith's wedding dress, but is overheard by Monsieur Alfonse, who challenges René to a duel in response.
----
* Note: In this episode, officer Crabtree's catchphrase "Good moaning" can be heard for the first time.

| ShortSummary = Plans for the duel are in place – Gruber has put himself forward as one of René's seconds, while Edith is selling tickets for the front row and preparing the catering. The German officers plan to hold manoeuvres in the vicinity of the duel, which might "accidentally" hit Monsieur Alfonse. On the morning of the duel, René augments his clothing with a coal scuttle as armour under his suit. Just as they are about to begin, Gruber receives a message that Von Strohm and Geering have been arrested by the Gestapo and the manoeuvres are cancelled. René sees no option but to run.
----
* Note: This episode marks the first appearance of Engelbert Von Smallhausen. Even though Herr Flick calls him "Von Smallhausen", he is only credited as "Gestapo man" in the credits.

| RTitle =
| DirectedBy = David Croft

| OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|1985|11|25|df=y}}
| ShortSummary = René is discovered by the Resistance while hiding from Monsieur Alfonse, and they disguise him as a Resistance girl. They also explain to Alfonse how brave René is and how important he and the cafe are to their cause, leading Alfonse to see René as a hero of France. Gruber sees through René's disguise in the cafe but vows not to give him away, but does so unintentionally and he is arrested by Von Smallhousen and held prisoner in the dungeon alongside the Colonel and the Captain. Gruber decides to go over Herr Flick's head and calls in General Von Klinkerhoffen to extricate the three prisoners. Once René is back home, the wind is favourable, so the cafe staff and the Resistance can venture outside the town to launch the balloon with the British Airmen inside, disguising themselves as a funeral party to get through the curfew.
----
* Note: When general Von Klinkerhoffen arrives in the dungeon, Hans gives the full "Heil Hitler" salute (the first of only four times in the entire TV series).
* Note: In this episode, Von Smallhausen gives his first name as "Englebert", although in the episode "Dinner with the General", (while being hypnotised) he gives his full name as "Bobby Cedric Von Smallhausen".
* Note: At the time of the episode's production, it was thought unlikely that the show would be renewed for a third season, so the main cast's goodbye waves to the airmen also served as their goodbye to the audience. But a third season was commissioned, and the show ran for nine seasons in all.

| ShortSummary = The cafe staff return home after the balloon's launch, only for the balloon to be shot down by General Von Klinkerhoffen and his troops. The balloon crash-lands in the attic bedroom. Following the incident, Von Klinkerhoffen remains in the area and assumes control, with Gruber installed as his ADC. The General plans a party at the chateau to celebrate the Kaiser's birthday, as he is a distant relation. The Resistance, the German officers, and the Gestapo see this as the ideal situation to assassinate the General. However, the Gestapo discover the Resistance are plotting to blow up the chateau, so the party moves to the cafe, leaving René much less keen on the Resistance's plans.
----
* Note: Although this episode was broadcast soon after series 2, it is featured on the series 3 and 4 region 2 DVD boxset. In the region 1 area, this episode is featured on the series 2 DVD (at least sometimes under the title "Klinkerhoffen in Control"<ref>{{cite AV media |date=2005|title='Allo, 'Allo!

The fifth series of the British [[sitcom]] ''[['Allo 'Allo!]]'' contains twenty-six episodes, which first aired between 3 September 1988 and 25 February 1989.

Series 5 is longer than any of the other series, and contains almost a third of the total number of episodes. The series was made with a view to airing the show in the [[United States|US]], so episodes were shortened to 25 minutes rather than 30 minutes to allow for commercial breaks; and twenty-six episodes were commissioned to tie in with the American tradition of having "seasons", rather than the typical British "series" of six to eight episodes. Due to these changes, two episodes were written by different writers; the director's role was shared between four people, the series was taped entirely in the studio (except the wedding scene of Episode 6, which was shot on location in an actual church); and not all of the secondary characters appear in each of the series' episodes. Series 5 also sees the first appearances of the Communist Resistance girls [[Denise Laroque]] and Louise; and the last appearance of [[Jack Haig (actor)|Jack Haig]] (who died in the time between the fifth and sixth series) as [[Monsieur Roger LeClerc]].

The sixth series of the British [[Sitcom]] series ''[['Allo 'Allo!]]'' contains eight episodes which first aired between 2 September and 21 October 1989 and repeated between 11 May and 29 June 1992.

Series 6 and subsequent episodes were 30 minutes in length, as they were not co-commissioned for the American market (as series 5 was). [[Jack Haig (actor)|Jack Haig]] was originally meant to star in the series; but his death before the start of production prevented this. As the LeClerc character was important to the series, [[Derek Royle]] was brought in to play the part of [[Monsieur Ernest LeClerc|Ernest LeClerc]], [[Monsieur Roger LeClerc|Roger]]'s brother. Naturally, the two characters are very similar in the roles that they play within the show's plot. The show also features the last appearance of [[Gavin Richards]] as Bertorelli who would be recast by [[Roger Kitter]] and Ernest would later be recast by [[Robin Parkinson]].

The following episode names are the ones found on the British R2 DVDs with alternate region titles given below them.

The ninth series of the British [[sitcom]] series ''[['Allo 'Allo!]]'' contains six episodes which first aired between 9 November and 14 December 1992.

Series 9 was the last series of the show, and contains the final regular episode (''[[The Best of 'Allo 'Allo!]]'' aired some two years later; but was mostly made up of archive footage). [[Richard Gibson]] did not take part in the final series, so the character of [[Herr Otto Flick]] was taken over by [[David Janson]].

The following episode names are the ones found on the British R2 DVDs with alternate region titles given below them.

| ShortSummary = The cafe staff prepare to welcome the British troops, but do not bargain for seeing a couple of familiar faces. General Von Klinkerhoffen orders Colonel Von Strohm and Lieutenant Gruber to stay and fight to the end, so they decide to escape and hide – ending up at the cafe, walking into the attic bedroom just as René is making his final radio call to London. The Gestapo officers' attempts to escape prove fruitless, but Helga regains possession of her missing piece of the painting. Von Klinkerhoffen changes his mind and decides to formally surrender to the British at the cafe to spare the lives of the men under his command. All the Germans are rounded up and the British make themselves at home in the cafe.

Many years later, an impressive car pulls up on the square, driven by the former Colonel. He's in the employ of Gruber, now a world-renowned art dealer, married to Helga. They greet the cafe staff, discussing how none of them ever found out what happened to the Fallen Madonna painting. Helga still carries her missing piece of the painting, and the rest is accidentally discovered to have been under their noses all these years. With the original painting, and a getaway car in the square, René decides that maybe it's not too late for him and Yvette to elope.

* Note: This episode features a guest appearance of John D. Collins and Nicholas Frankau as Fairfax and Carstairs.
