    This is something that non-Brits would hardly know, even the newer generation, based of my own country ratings Allo, Allo was tad better.

    Never seen Allo, Allo in my life.

    Dad's Army was quite funny. So I guess that is better.

    Wasn't a big fan of either, but I'll say Dad's Army, though I hardly remember it.

    This was funny though


    Also one scene where Rene was saying something about he and his brother coming from Nancy: 'Yes, we were both Nancy boys' The only line from Allo Allo that stuck in my head.

    Allo Allo over dads army. Dads army ran almost a decade and finished for 5 more years before Allo Allo debuted. A different generation of humour.

    Dad's army was more wholesome and had more rounded characters. Much better written.

    Still, Helga and Herr Flick get my vote 'Allo 'Allo wins.

    Wow. I thought Allo Allo was a big thing in Britain. Here it was / kinda still is as it is reguraly being aired on various tv channels even now. Meanwhile it's possibly the first time I ever come across Dad's Army sheer existence, or at least I am pretty sure I've never watched it.
