History Characters / AlloAllo

!!! Actor: Vicki Michelle

* RealLifeRelative: Vicki Michelle's sister, Ann Michelle, played a member of the Communist Resistance in "A Tour de France".

!!! Actor: Carmen Silvera.

* HollywoodToneDeaf: Supposedly she fails to notice how horrible her own singing is. [=LeClerc=] often intentionally tunes the piano off-key to better match her voice. She also fails to notice the singing talents of other characters. Several descriptions of the show simply list her as tone deaf. Carmen Silvera really couldn't sing and good-naturedly went along with the writers making Edith such a horrible entertainer.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Carmen Silvera was 60 years old at the beginning of the series. A running gag of the series is that Edith looks ancient. At some point, Edith mentions entertaining soldiers in the previous War (UsefulNotes/WorldWarI), René asks if it was the UsefulNotes/CrimeanWar (1853-1856).

* InformedAbility: The general consensus among the other characters is that he's handsome; Guy Siner is usually the first to state that he really isn't. He is, though, charming enough that it generally maintains the illusion.

!!! Actor: Guy Siner

!!! Actor: Gorden Kaye.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Gorden Kaye is 5' 10½" (1.79 m) and seems to tower over Francesca Gonshaw, which became a running gag for the show. She even had to stand on a chair before they could cuddle together.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Gorden Kaye is 5' 10½" (1.79 m) and Sue Hodge 4' 9" (1.45 m) tall. Just like with Maria, their height difference became a running gag.

* {{Gainaxing}}: When in René's vibrating ice cream truck in "Soup and Sausage".

* [[DirtyOldMan Dirty Old Woman]]: She objects rather stringently to Edith trying to stop her from watching the British airmen changing in "The British Are Coming".

* PlayingGertrude: Rose Hill was 68-years-old when the show began. Her character is a centenarian and her on-stage daughter Carmen Silvera was only 8 years younger than her.

* [[HeWhoMustNotBeSeen She Who Must Not Be Seen]]: Never depicted on-screen at any point in the show.

* ShesGotLegs: While Michelle typically hides her charms under her trenchcoat, she has great legs. Which she demonstrates on occasion, allowing the male characters to drool.
-->'''Michelle:''' Now look very carefully, [[SubvertedCatchphrase I shall show this only once.]]

* ShesGotLegs: Just the sight of the give Monsieur Alfonse a heart attack in "The Exploding Bedpan".

* BastardBoyfriend: To Helga, although [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys she seems to like it that way]].

* NiceHat: Wears a hat with over-sized feathers on it.

* BrawnHilda: She takes Helga's [[TheBaroness Baroness]] and NoIndoorVoice traits UpToEleven and adds Amazonian strength. When Herr Flick asks her out in "Soup and Sausage", she effortlessly dominates him.

* UpToEleven: Helga if her [[TheBaroness Baroness]] and NoIndoorVoice traits were all she did.

* {{Corpsing}}: Richard Marner is visibly trying not to laugh during Crabtree's speech at the end of "Pretty Maids All in a Row", even though his character believes he has just seen a double homicide.

* {{Corpsing}}: When Herr Flick is showered with dirt after an explosion in "The Funeral", Kim Hartman makes no attempt to hide her giggles.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Michelle is caught having a 'late night staff meeting' with Crabtree in "A Fishful of Francs", but later in the episode after catching Louise and a Communist Resistance girl having a 'meeting' of their own, she wistfully mentions she wished her 'meetings' were like that.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Rather nice for a ruthless Nazi.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Rather nice for a ruthless Nazi.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Rather nice for a ruthless Nazi.

* GirlInABox: Accidentally mails herself to Switzerland between "The Great Un-Escape" and "Prisoners of War" disguised as a Red Cross package.

** BespectacledBastardBoyfriend: "Fleeing Monks" proves he's BlindWithoutEm.

-->"Look very carefully, I shall show this only once."

* IWasNeverHere: She would often give René orders, then tell him to forget everything she just said for security reasons.

* CoolOldGuy: In addition to being a major supporter of the local resistance, Monsieur Alfonse is revealed in "The Duel" to be a crack shot despite his age and arrives at the duel and fearlessly challenges the much younger Reneé, showing nerves of steel and intinidating René into fleeing for his life.

* AscendedExtra: Originally appeared as a guest character in "The Duel" until he was written as as Flick's full time sidekick.

* HarmlessElectrocution: Gets electrocuted by a battery disguised as a cake in "The Camera in the Potato" and is no worse for it.

* ATasteOfTheLash: In "The Crooked Fences", she decides to indulge in some flagellation as penance. PlayedForLaughs as all she can use is wet spaghetti.
