'Allo 'Allo! who did not appear in the reunion at all (where the actor or actress who played the character originally was then alive) were Private Helga Geerhart (played by Kim Hartman) and Herr Engelbert von Smallhausen (played by John Louis Mansi). Jeremy Lloyd wrote the new material. At the end of each show, in common with "Dad's Army", "Are You Being Served?", "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" and "Hi-de-Hi!", the end credits begin with the caption "You have been watching (in order of appearance)", followed by a short vignette shot of each of the main characters with the actor's name displayed
'Allo 'Allo! understudy, John Larson, played the part in a London Palladium production. Kaye had a dent in his forehead for the rest of his life from a piece of wood that smashed through the car window. He wanted to end the television show after his accident, but was convinced by Jeremy Lloyd to continue. In Australia Gorden Kaye's part was played by Australian comedian/impressionist Max Gillies (later, Gorden Kaye repaid the favour when he took over Max Gillies' role in another play in Australia, when Max Gillies was unable to take part). The show was last performed for a summer season
