Red Nick's Colonel - The Colonel and the Captain are captured by the communist resistance and it's up to Rene to get revenge for his dead twin brother. It's pretty funny but not a highlight.
The Dance of Hitler Youth - Helga and Hans' dancing is funny but much of this episode's humour revolves around Herr Flick and a poison dart.
Six Big Boobies - There are now 2 fakes of the photo and Herr Flick has both of them along with the original. He has Gruber determine the real one with a reasonably funny way of ensuring his silence.
The Wooing of Widow Artois - Rene has to woo Edith again to get his cafe back, much to his own personal disgust and the shock of Yvette and Maria.
The Policeman Cometh - The first new cast addition comes in the form of the language mangaling Officer Crabtree a British spy who is to pose as a gendarme as his cover. There is only one problem: Hoz Frinch iz varry bid!
Swiftly and with Style - The return of M. Alfonse, undertaker as he tries to marry Edith but she decides to remarry Rene and M. Alfonse takes great insult and challenges Rene to a duel. Meanwhile the resistance needs as many pairs of silk knickers as it can get to repair a balloon, with a hilarious scene were Le Clerc gets caught!
The Duel - Rene his hiding with the chickens to avoid M. Alfonse, Helga lets slip that the colonel might know about the recently bombed train and he handcuffs her to the chair. The duel itself if a comical farse with Rene wearing an iron coal scuttle under his shirt, however his nerves go and he runs off.
Herr Flick's Revenge - Herr Flick captures Rene, the Colonel and Hans and threatens to torture them unless they reveal the existance of the forged painting, they are saved by the return of General von Klinkerhoffen who releases his officers and a plain french woman who is actually Rene in disguise as a mamber of the resistance.
The Gâteau from the Château - This contains the best line of the series imo: Do you not see that if we kill him with the pill from the till by making with it the drug in the jug, you need not light the candle with the handle on the gateau from the chateau! The whole christmas special has more jokes in it that the previous two seasons and there's even some time for some plot developments too. The escaping Airmen were shot down and landed on the cafe roof and General von Klinkerhoffen has taken command of the whole district.
