"In an episode of 'Allo 'Allo! which is set in a P.O.W. camp for captured British airmen, one of the characters begins to sing the lyric "Hitler has only got one..." before the German officer interrogating the troops orders him to be silent." is factually inaccurate. The show 'Allo 'Allo! is not set in a P.O.W. camp, but rather a WWII era French restaurant run by a secret member of the resistance. The description of the show and contextual reference to a "German officer interrogating the troops" may actually be from the American television show "Hogan's Heroes". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:579:C004:18:35DE:EEAB:ABDC:ABEC ( talk) 17:38, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
Yes, it's at the end of "The Great Un-Escape", more precisely at 37,21 minutes of the 40,22 minutes episode, see https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6tlhqq MC202 zipper ( talk) 21:34, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
EEng (and/or anyone else watching this page), would you have time/interest in copyediting this recently expanded article, and maybe taking a crack at the lead? (You're so much better at it than I am.) Bonus points if you can think of some hooks... Thanks! Levivich 17:26, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
@ EEng: I was thinking I can make shorter crops of the headshots that will work better for this formatting, but I'll do it after the text is further along, so we know how much vertical space we have to work with in each section. I think we should have a picture of Albert Hall, though, so the reader understands what it is (a large stately building) without having to click on the link (and also so we have a picture of something that's not a Nazi).
