I absolutely loved Richard Gibson's portrayal of Herr Flick, I actually have an Allo Allo book and it mentions that Richard had never done comedy before and was rather apprehensive about doing gags so he played Herr Flick as a straight part but ended up being unintentionally funny.
His comic timing was excellent and his expressions cracked me up.
I loved those scenes with Helga, one where she is cranking the car and one where he is blowing up the tyre, they're so full of sexual innuendo, pull and thrust indeed!
