I knew a few Dutch, Belgian, Swedish and Norwegian folk from World of Warcraftthey all seemed to know a lot about British culture and sub-culture as they can get BBC and they were mostly fascinated by 'Allo 'Allo and totally got the sense of humour involved.

Allo Allo was apparently translated into many languagesI have no idea how they managed to translate a lot of the accent/mispronounciation jokes

Well most of my friends preferred it in the original English they said the translation was awfuland really didn't need to be translated. They especially liked the British spy/policeman one and often quoted him word for word, they loved it. They were also very fascinated by The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies

Dunno, apparently it came out late 2008/early 2009 but I can't find any more than that :/I always thought the rank-and-file Germans (as opposed to the gestapo) were treated rather sympathetically in it, but I don't know whether they'd see it that way

The only phrase I picked up in Amsterdam is..."mijn neef zou je dat laten doen met haar, maar het kost een extra 500 schilling" but I don't know what it means. Lots of people said it to me though.

haha :D "My nephew would let you do that with her, but it costs an extra 500 schilling" I'm worried about the use of 'nephew' and 'her' in the same context but whatever floats yer boat
