Revisiting randy French and the stupid English

By Sara Black

Leisure - Allo AlloThe Germans are kinky, the French are randy and the English are stupid. Such are the images portrayed of the nations in the classic television comedy 'Allo 'Allo, which is launching a UK stage tour in Hertfordshire. The show centres on the comings and goings at a café in the Nazi-occupied French town of Nouvion, owned by René Artois, who tries to satisfy everyone without being killed.

HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY

Certificate 12A, running time 2h

Leisure - HellboyFar smarter than your average comic book adaptation, the long-awaited sequel to Guillermo Del Toro's Hellboy is a worthy challenger to The Dark Knight's box office domination. Ron Perlman, pictured right, is back in the role he was born to play as everyone's favourite big red demon, while Selma Blair puts in a typically fiery turn as his girlfriend, but it's two new additions which really elevate the film above its predecessor.
