Sitcom stars say 'Allo 'Allo to blue plaque marking filming in Norfolk

It was one of the biggest television series of the 1980s - at one point getting around 14 million viewers every week.

But did you know much of the wartime comedy 'Allo 'Allo was filmed near Thetford in Norfolk?

Today, on the sitcom's 35th anniversary, a Blue Plaque was unveiled at Lyndford Hall to mark the site of so many happy memories for its cast.

Among them was Sue Hodge, who played diminutive waitress Mimi LaBonq and Vicki Michelle, Mimi's love-rival Yvette Carte-Blanche.

In true 'Allo 'Allo style, the perfectly laid plans for the celebration didn't go quite as expected - with Vicki Michelle accidentally uncovering the plaque a little earlier than intended.

But that didn't matter to the many fans who had travelled to the village of Mundford to see some of their icons.

Three generations of the Teague family made the journey to Norfolk.

Despite the many 1940s-style outfits on show, Arthur Bostrom - who played the show's English policeman with an appalling French accent - said his character Officer Crabtree was still considered surprisingly relevant.
