'Allo 'Allo! was a BBC sitcom set in occupied France during the Second World War, first broadcast in 1982 and running until 1992. Michelle Dubois, played by Vicki Michelle, led the local Resistance and delivered coded plans to cafe owner Rene Artois. Her line opened almost every briefing, which helped turn it into one of the show's most quoted catchphrases. Clips and quotes later circulated on forums, video edits and soundboards, where the phrase is now used whenever someone wants a mock serious introduction to trivial news.
