Allo, Allo could return to screens

Vicki Michelle has told fans to "watch this space" about a possible ‘Allo, Allo’ comeback.
The 68-year-old actress claims there has "been a film suggested", and admitted she still has a script which was "loosely based on lots of episodes".
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, she said: "It would be interesting to do a TV show. There’s quite a few of us still alive and we’ve all got to a certain age but we do all look good. You could get away with it.
"There’s been a film suggested – I’ve still got the script someone wrote which was loosely based on lots of episodes.
"And someone approached me at a party and said he’d really like to work on a musical."
Vicki, who played waitress Yvette Carte-Blanche, is meeting up with the cast next month for the unveiling of a blue plaque at Lynford Hall, Norfolk, where some scenes were shot.
The actress said: "I bet, when I talk to the others, they will say they have been approached about doing it."
However, Vicki believes comedy is too "PC" nowadays and she wants to bring the genre back to its roots.
She said: "I think we need to laugh more. When you get in from work, it’s news, cooking shows, animal shows – where’s the comedy?
"You have to be so PC with things these days. But I think it would be great to get that laugh-out-loud comedy back."
The show is set in occupied France during the Second World War and followed the life of cafe owner Rene Artois (Gorden Kaye), and his long-suffering wife Edith (Carmen Silvera), as they try to keep on the right side of the French Resistance and the German military.
